In any case, what we should be doing here as well is moving the headers included by drivers for platform data out of the arch/arm/mach/ subtrees and into include/linux/platform_data. That will substantially reduce the amount of mach/ headers to deal with.
I've just looked at the {mach,plat}/*.h files that get included in ARM specific drivers. Out of the 342 header files that get used in this way, I found 93 that are practically just platform data, and a few that are platform_data mixed with something else.
How about I move all the pure platform data definition files now and rebase the other patches on top of that. Here is a list of suggested file names in include/linux/platform_data/:
I've just scripted this and am running my build testsuite over it now.
Please let me know what you think about it.
This certainly looks like a step in the right direction, thanks for doing this.
