Understanding Platform devices and platform drivers.
Hi All, I am trying to understand the concept of platform device and platform driver, my very basic question is that, the devices and data which is present in device tree represents platform devices and platform data? Regards, Madhu

The device tree instantiate device drivers and that includes platform data. Please visit freeelectrons site , they have a wonderfull ppt explaining the device tree and its usage.

You may find about platform device and platform driver implementation from page 147 onwards.

I guess you can check rpi datasheet and it's corresponding dts files to have a fairly well idea about this.
