About SPL_OF_PLATDATA, do you think i can change it to a more generic
OF_PLATDATA, or GENERIC_OF_PLATDATA not dependant from SPL (i am not 
using SPL) ?
I also need to add "select SUPPORT_OF_CONTROL" for m68k arch.

Let me know if the above is ok, otherwise i start to work for the 
devicetree option.
