Thanks for review.

I still have doubts about few things.

I did renaming twice, first time it's actually moving to folder and
keeping the same file names, and second time when I split driver. Might
be better to do this in first patch? My logic here is to distinguish
just moving, that's why I kept names.

In patch 2/2 I collect platform related code. I see a lot of #ifdefs
related to OF and ACPI. I would like to split it further and create
files like of.c and acpi.c. What do you think?

Last thing, I would like to prepare PCI driver (which is not ready yet
in new shape) and see how it will go with this split.

And I forgot to mention that patch series relies on the patch I sent
before (clean up for devm_ioremap_resources) and Vinod didn't apply yet.
