While I'd also like to skip the additional platform_data entry, your
last comment is in deed a drawback. Also, when thinking of a generic
solution (ADC comes to my mind), you can't make an assumption which pins
will have the alternate function as you can do with the touchscreen
driver. If a pin is an ADC-input channel or a GPIO, that is board
design.
