Sounds a very bad idea to me. The point of the platform data objects
throughout the kernel is to allow other devices to use the driver without
having to hack it up. Removing these interfaces breaks that.

So NAK such a change. The existing code is right, the fact that the
interface isn't being used in that way visibly by currently merged code
doesn't mean it shouldn't be there.

Also max3100 has an active maintainer so perhaps you should Cc them on
such discussion ?
