The wl12xx module calls wl12xx_get_platform_data, which simply returns
the structure set by wl12xx_set_platform_data. This mechanism only
supports a single platform data.

'name' is just a descriptive name of omap2_hsmmc_info. davinci_mmc_config
doesn't have such a member.

Please note that the platform_device_register above is used for
registering a regulator device, which is driven by the fixed regulator
driver and not by wl12xx. This regulator is controlled by omap's mmc
host driver.
Hope this clarifies things,
Ido.
