Mark,
I understand that ideally device tree is supposed to describe pure hardware configurations. But practically, when migrating a driver to device tree probe, we are trying to move the configurations described by platform_data into device tree to save the use of platform_data for device tree probe. Then some of the configuration may not be so purely hardware related. But I do not see this is a critical problem.
What do you think? Is it what you want that we classify the configurations clearly and put only strict hardware configurations into device tree and keep others still in platform_data?
