Patch overview:

#1: eliminate alchemy/common/platform.c.  Add platform device
    registration to all boards instead.
I'm strongly voting against this, as it causes totally unneeded code duplication. Please don't apply. 


    I realize this is a lot of (needless) code duplication at first,
    but it seems a lot cleaner to me if each board registered the
    devices it needs/wants.
No, it's certainly a step backwards. You could make the common code more flexible by checking what devices are enabled and registering them selectively as I have already suggested several months ago. That would be the clean solution unlike your code bloat. 

WBR, Sergei
