The last-working N8x0 support (Linux-OMAP 2.6.30-rc8) required 1706 lines of
platform data and initialization, split up into 6 files:
590 N800 + i2c + FM + keyboard + light sensor + LED + LCD + temp + SPI + WiFi
+ touchscreen + OneNAND
47 N810
175 USB
362 MMC
156 DSP
376 camera

The largest OMAP2 single-board file is merely 689 lines (3430sdp).
N900/RX-51, totalling 863 lines itself, is split over 2 files.

I think 4 or 5 files with ~350 lines is more manageable than a single 1700-
line board file, especially when considering that parts depend on multiple
configuration options (LCD, which turns out to be a 128-line file, depends on
3 config options: N8x0, Blizzard, and MIPID).

Thoughts?
