It is a long time since i converted an ARM system from platform data to DT. But what we tended to do was to allow both for a period of time.
Does a system using platform data still work after this change? The first patch seems to delete a lot of code, not just move it around.
Can you restructure this patchset to add the glue layer and DT binding in parallel with platform data. Then have a patchset which convert all in tree machines to using DT. And then a patchset, submitted in maybe 6 months time, to remove support for platform data.
