Hello.

Strange, but I not received an original answer from Arnd, have only this mail.

In this case we should provide two paths for drivers which can work as with DT
and without DT. In my case we can use platform_device_id.name field with
"compatible" string. My way in this case is transparency for driver which is
using "syscon".

For me, I still do not understand how we get syscon_dev from driver.

So, you suggest completely remove CONFIG_OF-dependent code from "probe"?
I am not a guru in DT, is it will work correct?
