From: Pratyush Anand <pratyush.anand at st.com>

Platform functions passed to the driver may also need some private
data. Till, now following approaches have been taken to manage these
data:
-- SPEAr13xx platform keep it locally in the files defining platform
functions.
-- IMX has created a new ahci platform device as a child of
platform device created by DT and then attached this data as the
driver_data of ahci's dev->parent.

Adding a driver_data field helps in using the same platform driver as
that of created by DT.
