OK, thanks.

The first of the following two patches is a slightly modified version of the
one that you commented.  Patch [2/2] implements the idea for platform devices
and since it modifies struct platform_device_info, I'm adding a CC to Greg.

The patches are on top of current linux-pm.git/linux-next.

It looks like we may be able to use this approach for PCI too, in which case
the whole .find_device() stuff won't be necessary any more.

Thanks,
Rafael
