> Since AM335x is DT only, why is there a platform data codepath and why is it the first branch it tries? And I guess the next question is related to the first: why doesn't it work when used with DT? When I copy over the nodes from the evm.dts to my board I get "tsc tsc: Missing platform data" in dmesg.

This IP came up 1st on AM335x, but it is not platform dependent. The driver can be used on other platforms where-in DT is not supported.
According to the maintainers platform data takes precedence over DT. Hence the order.

I do not see "Missing platform data" error msg in the latest driver. I am not able to trace from where this got populated.

This driver has been tested on top of v3.8-rc3 on a AM335x EVM.
