Subject: (arm-)global platform device registration functions

Hello,

some time ago I started to dynamically allocate platform_devices for
arm/plat-mxc.  For that purpose I added many functions, see
arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/mach/devices-common.h [1].  Now arm/arch-mxs
want to do the same, so I wonder if it would be sensible to do something
like this more globally (either for arm or better kernel global).

Thoughts?

Best regards
Uwe
