I'm sure that you can find the rationale if you look.
If not you can ask him, if it is important to you.
Failing that, I can ask him, if its important to you.

However, the point is that Arnd, who is the upstream for shmobile, has
indicated that he would prefer
platform_device_register_{full,resndata,data,simple} used instead of
platform_register_device(). And furthermore Magnus appears to have started
following this advice in his series "[PATCH 01/04] ARM: shmobile: r8a7740
pinmux platform device cleanup".

I would like you to update this patch to follow that advice too.
Likewise for the similar R8A7778 patch.
