mm. that's strange. a platform driver is supposed to receive informational
structures (regions, irqs, ...) and init driver data by itself. you shouldn't need
to mess with the drvdata pointer.

I do not also feel fine with the irq handlers setup. Your core should export
a function for irq registration.
