I need to look at that hard for .28 still.

There should be none.  It was an arch/ppc driver originally, and
arch/ppc is dead.  Since it's only found on 4xx SoCs, there's no reason
that I'm aware of to keep it as a platform driver.

Other than the fact that the whole of_platform thing might be replaced
with shims to convert them to platform devices.  There was talk of that
at one time and it made sense to me.
