ppc_sys.c with platform device model or create opb bus?

Hi all,
I've been reading some posts regarding to the transition of OCP to
platform device mode while searching for a good way to implement a
device driver for our fpga base platform. And now I have one question
regarding to ppc_sys.c
should I use ppc_sys_*() for platform like fpga?
since I'm working on FPGA base platform, ppc_sys_spec seems to be too
static. that is, IMHO, having static array of device list isn't ideal
for a dynamic system like fpga.
I feel that the ppc_sys_spec is for SoC, which doesn't dynamically
change the peripherals it has. otoh, fpga based platform can have
arbitrary number of devices if you configured so.
I usually implement a device with PLB or OPB. for those bus, should I
use platform device model or create new buses for each?
regards,
