Right, that was my idea.

This one is just like the igep0030, as Tony was saying: the board
boots from device tree already, so now that we have a binding for
it, we can remove the wl12xx_set_platform_data() for it.

Unfortunately, there is still one machine that uses a board file
in combination with this wl12xx: da850-evm calls
wl12xx_set_platform_data() from a legacy board file without DT.

We have DT support for this file as well, but if I remember correctly,
it is somewhat incomplete and we don't want to remove the file
yet. Adding Sekhar and Kevin to Cc here for confirmation.
