Perhaps there is some misunderstanding.... no witchcraft is involved here.
To be clear, I suggested moving platform_device definition and registration
from 12 board files to some common platform file and use machine_is_xxx()
to assign names of those platform devices. Btw, omap_init_audio() is already
called from an arch_initcall.
Also please note that currently there's no platform_data needed to be passed.
If that requirement arise in future, an optional set_asoc_platdata(void *pdata)
could be defined beside platform_device creation.
While the idea is not absolutely good, imho, it's certainly an improvement
over this patch. Or am I overlooking something ?
