This construct is quite long-winded. In earlier days it made some sense
since auto-allocation was a strange concept. But with driver model now
used pretty universally, we can shorten this to 'auto'. This reduces
verbosity and makes it easier to read.
Coincidentally it also ensures that every declaration is on one line,
thus making dtoc's job easier.

which makes it possible to get a pointer to the actual device.

This is at best misleading as SPL_OF_PLATDATA is always defined when we
want to use this SPL tinification feature (also in U-Boot proper).
As a result the OF_PLATDATA SPL specific code is also compiled in when
U-Boot proper is build.
