Yes, there are -- the NOR flash driver, various board FPGAs, etc.

It's already there, though all that's needed is error handling.  Setting
up the chipselects is handled in U-Boot (same as with FCM -- and
probably UPM, though I'm less familiar with that).

Ideally this sort of cleanup change would be a separate patch.

This is not an acceptable compatible string.  Compatible should describe
what the hardware is, not how you plan to use it in Linux.

I also see no description of elbc-gpcm-br/or, and in general putting
register values in the device tree is not a good idea.  As with
compatible, the device tree should describe the hardware, not how to
configure it.

Please maintain a consistent whitespace style with what's already there.

What is "uio_name"?  Again, not hardware description.

Where is the binding for this device?  What is
netx5152,init-win0-offset?  Documentations go in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings, not code comments.

Don't use device_type.

What's this doing in the "generic" file?

Why would you ever call this function with init_err = true?  What is it
supposed to do?  When you introduce a callback interface you should
document the semantics that are expected of an implementation,
especially if there are details that aren't clear from existing
examples.

Why is a wrong value for MSEL in pre-existing BRn a fatal error but
wrong address/size isn't?

What does this version mean?  When will it be updated?

Don't use NO_IRQ.  A value of zero indicates the absence of an
interrupt.

Shouldn't you set drvdata before registering?

Setting .owner in platform_driver is no longer necessary, and there was
recently a big patchset to remove them.

module_platform_driver()
