I'm seeing some linux specific parameters encoded in the device tree
below.

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?
