Yes, I understand what you are doing, but I kind of dislike the logic.
Relying on the number of reg tuples is something that can be done (I
used it myself one time), but I think this is more a hack that you do
when you have no other way to differentiate. I guess the proper way
would be to look at the parent's compatible. If it matches what you
expect, then you can store the dev->of_node->parent->dev somewhere in
your controller's structure and then use it to initialize the clock and
regmap. This way you don't have to move anything else in the probe path.


Thanks,
Miquèl
