All we need here is a struct device pointer to add constraints. But how we get the device node depends on what bus type the device corresponds to. Currently this only support amba and platform devices, but we may need to get spi, i2c, etc later on.
How do you suggest to keep this stuff out of core here ? Are you asking me to add a generic API in the OF core to find the struct device pointer using a node pointer ?

Sure. I agree.

The struct device_node doesn't contain a struct device * unfortunately. Will it be acceptable to add one ? That will solve some controversial part of this function for sure :)
