Why not? VFIO implements drivers for most physical device types
these days. Why wouldn't platform be included?

Huh?

It is in patch 12:

--- a/drivers/vfio/platform/vfio_platform.c
+++ b/drivers/vfio/platform/vfio_platform.c
@@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ static struct platform_driver vfio_platform_driver = {
        .driver = {
                .name   = "vfio-platform",
        },
+       .suppress_auto_claim_dma_owner = true,
 };

Which is how VFIO provides support to DPDK for some Ethernet
controllers embedded in a few ARM SOCs.

It is also used in patch 17 in five tegra platform_drivers to make
their sharing of an iommu group between possibly related
platform_driver's safer.

It is still called. The issue here is that platform_dma_configure has
nothing to do with platform and is being re-used by AMBA.

Probably the resolution to both remarks is to rename
platform_dma_configure to something sensible (firwmare dma configure
maybe?) and use it in all places that do the of & acpi stuff -
pci/amba/platform at least.
