Ok, but I'm still not 100% sure how should I handle case like this properly.
I thought that separating platform files from the driver itself would help
merging it, because each part (the driver and platform setup code/register
definitions) can be merged separately by the respective maintainers. Was it
wrong that the platform patch was prepared for the tree after plat-s5pc1xx
moves?
