Right, so what I'm saying is that what I'd expect unless there's
something unusual going on is that you wouldn't be doing the separate
registration of the AB8500 here and would instead be passing the
platform data for the AB8500 through in the same way you pass the DT
data through.

DT and non-DT do have a very similar model for this stuff.
