Yes, this is the approach that should be adopted.  The platform data
should not change per board.

Note that we already have platform data for the PXA AC97 devices.

Those are platform data, currently the only mainline use I'm aware of is
for mainstone - it's been present since before the pxa2xx-ac97-lib was
introduced.

Looking at the code it appears we've broken mainstone, though
unfortunately my mainstone has some independant problem with resume so I
can't test but I'll make a patch merging the two structures on Monday.
