I will have look at how it might be split.  The majority of the new code is in reading and processing the device's configuration: I didn't want to change the platform data handling to do that because some of the comments in the driver suggested that there were ST specific changes to the Designware IP.  I wasn't in a position to know whether, if I changed the configuration reading, the driver would still function correctly on the SPEAR platform.

I wasn't very happy either but making the test explicit seemed reasonable at the time.  I'll change the code to test for the presence of the callback instead.
