The benefit is that the ugliness in drivers/staging/ste_rmi4/board-mop500-u8500uib-rmi4.c can be avoided, as today we're unable to pass the compulsory platform data in any sane way. I'm being told that this weak symbol override actually does not really work... especially if there are more than 1 I2C device on the bus :-P Another way of fixing the staging driver usable is to add device tree support, of course, that would decopule it completely from the platform using it.
