An alternative that allows letting the logic in the driver and still
getting rid of the cpu_is_ stuff is using platform ids. See
drivers/spi/spi_imx.c for an example. Instead of an index into an array
(as it's for the imx-spi driver) driver_data can hold flags, too, which
should be enough most of the time.

Best regards
Uwe
