Subject: [PATCH] driver core: fix passing platform_data

From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@...il.com>

We will remove platform_data field from struct device until
all platform devices pass its specific data from platfom_device
and all platform drivers use platform specific data passed by
platform_device->platform_data. This kind of conversion will
need a long time, for thousands of files is affected.

To make the conversion easily, we allow platform specific data
passed by struct device or struct platform_device and platform
driver may use it from struct device or struct platform_device.
