they're not obsolete and will never be removed. They're nothing but
helpers though. Instead of calling:

	dev_set_drvdata(&pdev->dev);

you call:

	platform_set_drvdata(pdev);

same is valid for every single bus, but in the end they all just wrap a
call dev_{set,get}_drvdata() internally. If you already have a struct
device pointer as argument, why waste cycles doing pointer math just to
go back to the same struct device pointer on the next call ?
