Yes, but by destroying the structure that I have currently in the platform
files,
I will be basically going backwards.

If only the platform_data is what is going to change with some additions
of sysfs attributes, then will it be correct to have the platform data
as an empty pointer and keep the rest as is ?

That way, I can keep the platform changes untouched and move just
the drivers into staging.

I cannot destroy the complete platform code as there are other drivers
(PRUSS UIO) depending on them.
