Was that me that said that?  I don't recall it at all, and if I did, I
was flat out wrong.  I've always said that platform_bus is a hack, and
should only be used as a "last resort".  Others have grabbed onto it as
the "only" way to do devices for embedded things because that is what
they were used to.
