Hi Axel,

Thank you for cleanup, but, a platform driver should use
platform_get_drvdata / platform_set_drvdata, no?

I think using dev_get_drvdata() in platform_get_drvdata() is an
implementation detail of the platform device framework, so we should
not depends on such an internal detail.

If there was any reason to use dev_get_drvdata, please convert all
platform_get_drvdata and platform_set_drvdata to dev_get_drvdata and
dev_set_drvdata.  We should avoid mixing two APIs.
