Fine by me, though a suggestion follows to take this a little further than done here.

It's not something that ever bothered me that much, but we have had debates in
the past about whether there are semantic issues around this sort of cleanup
as it mixes

platform_set_drvdata() with device_get_drvdata()

Whilst they access the same pointer today, in theory that isn't necessarily
always going to be the case in future and it isn't necessarily apparent
to the casual reader of the code.

In this particular case you could tidy that up by using device_set_drvdata() in
the first place, but then to keep things consistent there is one other place
where platform_get_drvdata is used in a devm_add_action_or_reset() callback.
That one is also easily fixed though if we want to be consistent throughout.
