The number of platform_device_register_simple() is not decreasing.
So I think the removal plan for platform_device_register_simple is not
started (yet).

grep -r platform_device_register_simple 2.6.XX | wc -l

2.6.20: 64
2.6.21: 77
2.6.22: 66
2.6.23: 76
2.6.24: 80
2.6.25: 87
2.6.26: 83
2.6.27-rc7: 88
