Partly unrelated, but what about these platforms which can be fully described with DT and don't need a platform file?

The code for GTA01 is out there and could be merged into mainline, but I think it would be dead code since there doesn't seem to be really any interest in the device anymore.
So just get rid of the gta01 portions of the neo1973_wm8753 driver. If GTA01 support ever gets merged we can still revert the removal.
