Ok. Then, how do you suggest to provide platform data to the various
drivers?  It really depends on how the board is wired.

BTW: it's not uncommon for pci cards to differ in the same way, see
drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttv-cards.c for example.  I can have all
board configurations without config choices or whatever is acceptable.
Just tell me how to proceed.

thanks
