Are there powerpc platforms without device trees?

Standard of_platform driver works fine to instantiate the i2c driver
on mpc5200.

static struct of_device_id mpc_i2c_of_match[] = {
	{
		.compatible	= "fsl-i2c",
	},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mpc_i2c_of_match);

/* Structure for a device driver */
static struct of_platform_driver mpc_i2c_driver = {
	.match_table	= mpc_i2c_of_match,
	.probe		= mpc_i2c_probe,
	.remove		= __devexit_p(mpc_i2c_remove),
	.driver		= {
		.owner	= THIS_MODULE,
		.name	= DRV_NAME,
	},
};

static int __init mpc_i2c_init(void)
{
	int rv;

	rv = of_register_platform_driver(&mpc_i2c_driver);
	if (rv) {
		printk(KERN_ERR DRV_NAME " of_register_platform_driver failed (%i)\n", rv);
		return rv;
	}
	return 0;
}

module_init(mpc_i2c_init);

i2c and alsa soc core instantiate like this, asoc v2 is not in tree
yet. These cores used to create platform drivers, but that was wrong,
they don't have any hardware associated with them.

static int __init i2c_init(void)
{
	int retval;

	retval = bus_register(&i2c_bus_type);
	if (retval)
		return retval;
	return class_register(&i2c_adapter_class);
}

subsys_initcall(i2c_init);
