> of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus.
> The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated

> This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform
> bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead.  A previous patch
> made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure,
> and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus.
> 
> After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform
> drivers, the shim code can be removed.
