The revert to platform_data needs to happen ASAP though. If this second step isn't ready really quickly, then the current patches should be reverted to give some breathing room for creating the replacement patches. However, it's not such a rush if the below patch really does eliminate all of the nastiness of the original series. (I haven't looked and a rolled up diff of the first series and this change, so I don't know for sure). In principle I agree with this patch.

The of_node pointer is in struct device which is definitely not the place to put the mfd_cell pointer (and you probably though I was crazy when I suggested it). Greg was totally right to complain about moving it into struct device. Sorry for causing trouble. Move it back into struct platform_device and you should be good. I just talked to greg, and there should be any issues with locating it there. g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
