Anyway, I think you can introduce something like:

struct <your arch>_platform_device {
    struct platform_device dev;
    <some type> <your arch data>;
    ...
};

define your platform devices using the struct above and pass its dev member to
the functions that need 'struct platform_device' as an argument.

Then you won't need to add arch members to 'struct platform_device' itself.

Best,
Rafael
