I clearly see your point. I meant more the case where platform_data
became cruft because platforms moved to DT. I agree this is not so much
the case for HWMON but it was true for the I2C master driver where I
could remove the platform data and could save the include file and some
code. That was just a nice cleanup.

Super, thanks!
