Yes, for those that matter (see below).

All supported NCR53C9x SCSI host adapters for Amiga (Cyberstorm,
Cyberstorm II, Blizzard 1230 & 2060, Fastlane, Oktagon) are Zorro
boards, so they can be converted to use struct zorro_driver. There seems
to be some overlap in Zorro ID usage that needs additional checks, but I
guess we can handle that...
So that leaves us with platform devices for mac_esp and sun3x_esp.
