I'm sorry but this feels really backwards. Platform data as C
structures are already legacy, but defining these information in
some arch headers and using them directly from drivers really seems
even "wronger" to me. What's the mid/long term plan for this? If the
platforms are still in use today and need to be maintained, why not
finally enabling device tree support? I know it's harder to do than to
say, but I'd like some really good explanation on why we should accept
to do this in 2024 because it feels rather inadequate.
Thanks,
Miquèl
