 Platform Devices and Drivers
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+See <linux/platform_device.h> for the driver model interface to the
+platform bus:  platform_device, and platform_driver.  This pseudo-bus
+is used to connect devices on busses with minimal infrastructure,
+like those used to integrate peripherals on many system-on-chip
+processors, or some "legacy" PC interconnects; as opposed to large
+formally specified ones like PCI or USB.
+
 
 Platform devices
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Platform devices are devices that typically appear as autonomous
 entities in the system. This includes legacy port-based devices and
-host bridges to peripheral buses. 
-
-
-Platform drivers
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Drivers for platform devices are typically very simple and
-unstructured. Either the device was present at a particular I/O port
-and the driver was loaded, or it was not. There was no possibility
-of hotplugging or alternative discovery besides probing at a specific
-I/O address and expecting a specific response.
+host bridges to peripheral buses, and most controllers integrated
+into system-on-chip platforms.  What they usually have in common
+is direct addressing from a CPU bus.  Rarely, a platform_device will
+be connected through a segment of some other kind of bus; but its
+registers will still be directly addressible.
 
+Platform devices are given a name, used in driver binding, and a
+list of resources such as addresses and IRQs.
 
-Other Architectures, Modern Firmware, and new Platforms
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-These devices are not always at the legacy I/O ports. This is true on
-other architectures and on some modern architectures. In most cases,
-the drivers are modified to discover the devices at other well-known
-ports for the given platform. However, the firmware in these systems
-does usually know where exactly these devices reside, and in some
-cases, it's the only way of discovering them.

-The Platform Bus
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-A platform bus has been created to deal with these issues. First and
-foremost, it groups all the legacy devices under a common bus, and
-gives them a common parent if they don't already have one.

-But, besides the organizational benefits, the platform bus can also
