Bryan,
I'm still not sure if keeping the logic behind this makes sense at all.
Could we not just call platform_device_register_data() with a static
configuration of 1 core being enc and the other dec?
That's another way to do this. One reason I wrote this series to continue to rely on the existing compat= method though is it stuck in my mind that we have some dependency ordering logic in at the moment.
For example:
commit 08b1cf474b7f72750adebe0f0a35f8e9a3eb75f6
Author: Bryan O'Donoghue <bryan.odonoghue@xxxxxxxxxx>

And the other reason is the prototype platform_device_register_* looks like more surgery and ultimately more validation / potential for bugs.
Since this driver is supposed to be moving to maintenance mode, I didn't want to do a more major rewrite of the probe() and remove() paths.
