The point of dynamically allocating it is that we can use the data from the static lpc_ich_chipset_info array and munge into the correct platform data.
The alternative would be to go and mass-modify that array to include iTCO_wdt_platform_data objects that we could directly pass to the iTCO_wdt driver. I wanted to avoid the code churn, but I'm not super bothered either way if people have strong opinions about it.
