I've tested this with Haswell machine and once you fix the problem pointed
out by Yasuaki Ishimat (returning always when ACPI_PLATFORM_CLK is set) the
platform device creation works well. This is a nice cleanup and localizes
the hard coded platform device table in one file making maintenance bit
easier.
