SPI devices and OF

Hi,
I'm currently writing a driver for the mpc5200 spi controller (the
dedicated one, not the PSC ones).
The driver has the form of a of_platform_driver. My problem is that I
don't know how to define the spi devices on the spi bus. My current
approach is having something like this in the OF tree:
spi at f00 {
device_type = "spi";
compatible = "mpc5200b-spi\0mpc5200-spi";
reg = <f00 20>;
interrupts = <2 d 0 2 e 0>;
interrupt-parent = <500>;
mmc at 0 {
device_type = "mmc_spi";
compatible = "mmc_spi";
};
};
I can then parse the children in my spi driver with
while( (child = of_get_next_child(odev->node, child))) {
struct spi_board_info info;
info.max_speed_hz =
info.bus_num =
info.chip_select =
...
spi_register_board_info(&info, 1);
}
I think it will work this way but I found no way getting the
platform_data for the spi devices.
I could also define the spi devices in a board specific c file but there
I would not know which spi bus is which if there is more than one.
Any thoughts on this or am I completely on the wrong track?
Sascha
