    of/device: Rework to use common platform_device_alloc() for allocating devices · 7096d042
    Grant Likely 提交于
    The current code allocates and manages platform_devices created from
    the device tree manually.  It also uses an unsafe shortcut for
    allocating the platform_device and the resource table at the same
    time. (which I added in the last rework; sorry).
    
    This patch refactors the code to use platform_device_alloc() for
    allocating new devices.  This reduces the amount of custom code
    implemented by of_platform, eliminates the unsafe alloc trick, and has
    the side benefit of letting the platform_bus code manage freeing the
    device data and resources when the device is freed.
