- * The of_device *was* a kind of "base class" that was a superset of
- * struct device for use by devices attached to an OF node and probed
- * using OF properties. However, the important bit of OF-style
- * probing, namely the device node pointer, has been moved into the
- * common struct device when CONFIG_OF is set to make OF-style probing
- * available to all bus types. So now, just make of_device and
- * platform_device equivalent so that current of_platform bus users
- * can be transparently migrated over to using the platform bus.
- *
- * This line will go away once all references to of_device are removed
- * from the kernel.
