Shawn: I am slightly confused by your phrasing. Are you: a) saying that you dropped my patches in favor of your own that use platform_device_add_data() or b) asking me to convert my patches to use platform_device_add_data()? Just trying to figure out if any action on my part is necessary. Thanks, Andrey Smirnov
