wait a minute... will the legacy platforms be adapted to DT and, thus,
to this driver in the future ? I really don't want to keep several
copies of chipidea driver just because there are still some legacy
platforms still using them. I have said in the past and will say again,
everybody should move to the generic chipidea driver at the earliest
opportunity so we avoid duplication of work.
