Requiring that we have a user for all platform data provided by drivers
would be incredibly painful for embedded development.  It would mean
that we would be unable to usefully merge any drivers with platform data
unless we also merge at least one board using them, meaning that we're
dependant on getting the core board support for some public board into a
state which can be merged (which would at best be likely to end up
creating logjams on support for CPUs).
