in this RFC I've added the firmware name as platform data just because
I don't know what will be the final name that Freescale will use to
upload the firmware to linux-firmware repository.
However, this platform data is not really needed; there are 3 coda
versions out there in different i.MX chips. We can just detect the
i.MX model and load the proper firmware based on this data.

If I drop this platform data it is OK with you if I don't add device
tree support by now?

Regards.
