Assume that I've never seen the chip datasheet.  What exactly is this
platform data configuring?  

I would expect to see platform data configuring the default state of the
GPIOs at power up but that doesn't seem to be what's being configured
here.  For anything configured via registers I would expect the driver
to read the state of the chip at startup.
