There is no gain, but there is no loss either.  The compiler is smart
enough that the resulting assembly is the same.

Well, whether or not to use dev_[gs]et_* or platform_[gs]et_* is not
relevant to $SUBJECT patch. 

The current driver does platform_set_drvdata(), so I used
platform_get_drvdata() for consistency and readability.  If I were to
use dev_get* then I would want the correpsonding set changed to
dev_set_* also for consistency.

If someone wants to change both the sets and gets to the dev_ versions,
that's fine with me, but it should be separate patch.
