This patch adds the board code to register a per-board au1000-eth platform device to be used wit the au1000-eth platform driver in a subsequent patch. Note that the au1000-eth driver knows about the default driver settings such that we do not need to pass any platform_data informations in most cases except db1x00.

Sigh, NAK... Please don't register the SoC device per board, do it in alchemy/common/platfrom.c and find a way to pass the board specific platform data from the board file there instead -- something like arch/arm/mach-davinci/usb.c does.

Ok, like I promised, this was the per-board device registration. Do you prefer something like this:

I certainly do, but still not in this incarnation... :-)

I'm not sure that the default platfrom data is really a great idea...
Can you elaborate a bit more ? We actually need to make the Ethernet MAC driver aware of some PHY settings.
But why do you have the platform data in *this* file, no the board files?

And where's the platfrom data for the second Ethernet?
There is no need to, as the driver originally did not override any specific settings on the second MAC (afair).
Specific settings where, in the driver? Shouldn't all such settings be
bound to the platform data instead?

Why not just set the pointer in au1xxx_eth0_device. And really, why not make the function more generic, with a prototype like:
For the same reasons as explained below, MAC1 did not need any specific change.
So, the driver can get away without platform data? What does it do in
this case -- I haven't looked at that patch?

Why so complex, and how can (ni + 1) ever be 0?! :-/
This is left-over debugging stub, I will rework it. About complexity, this line is taken directly from the au1000_eth driver.
I don't see !(ni + 1) there, only:
num_ifs = NUM_ETH_INTERFACES - ni;
which is correct, unlike what you've written.
