I'd suggest just jumping straight to platform data now, making it
mandatory and using that to grab the name.  That'll be more ready for
device tree and make life a bit easier for people carrying patches for
further derivatives.  The platform data can then be extended to support
new features and a device tree binding added for it.

Please also fix the word wrapping in whatever mailer you're using.
