arch/ppc is scheduled to be removed middle of 2008. Don't break arch/ppc users before then. Ideally there should be overlap between the addition of support in arch/powerpc and the removal of support from arch/ppc. Personally, I structure the driver to support both platform bus and of_platform bus. It's not hard to do and it keeps things understandable. Take a look at drivers/block/xsysace for an example.
