Can you send me your .dts ? The bplan folks are doing things for their
EFIKA board and I didn't manage to get them to open up publically their
device-tree until the firmware is final and in production :( But I've
got them to change a few things already, and I'd like to make sure
things are in sync.

Regarding devices, I want to move everything to of_platform_device. I
have some patches in progress to make those easier to work with. I'll
send something in the upcoming couple of days as it's all part of some
Cell related work for a new southbridge.

I'm trying to make sure the bplan stuff and whatever you guys come up
with don't conflict.

Ben.
