My concern with allowing defaults with missing pdata or device tree data is that it makes it easy for the integrator to miss the necessity of the parameters and then start piling on driver workarounds. I have seen a few examples of this happening, so I'd rather prefer an explicit values if possible.

Why? The purpose of this patch is to have both cases working, pdata and no pdata. This patch is actually fixing the patch of Michael Thalmeier.
