We're not supposed to have platform data dependent to stuff in
staging under arch/arm or anyplace else in the main kernel tree.

Please move this to
drivers/staging/iio/adc/at91adc-board.h
or so.

As for calling the at91_add_device_adc() function (which I guess
you want to do at some point) the pattern I followed for other
drivers is to declare a dummy function in arch/arm/mach-*
with __weak and let the staging driver override that. This way
the staging driver can go away without any compilation trouble
happening.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
