Then, please, make them fwnode aware rather than OF centric.

It's easy. device_*() requires struct device to be established for this, so,
operates only against devices, while the fwnode_*() operates on pure data which
might or might not be related to any devices. If you understand OF examples
better, consider device node vs. child of such node.

In gpio-dwapb, for example, we simple check two things: a) hardware limitation
(if IRQ is assigned to a proper port) and b) if there is any IRQ comes from DT,
ACPI, etc.

We have 100 :-)

I saw in my practice chain of renames for a driver. Now, if somebody
somewhere would like to instantiate a platform driver by its name...
Oops, ABI breakage.

And of course using platform data for such device makes less sense.
