Not sure how comfortable I am with using Device Tree and populating
platform_data with information which by the looks of it you're
planning to make persistent. What's stopping you from using a DT
property to name the block, or better yet, just use the compatible
string? Also, won't naming these blocks in DT also aid other OSes?

Don't use 0 as NULL, you will cause a sparse error.
