The code would look like what I included at the end (untested). Not that
I used
of_find_by_name and not find_compatible. We can fix a naming convention
for those units ...

I think it does save quite a few lines and variable. It also simplifies the
error path ... granted it's not an exceptionnal reduction but still
worth it.
If it's not included now it's not that bad, I'll probably submitt a
patch later
when it's used in more places than mpc52xx_pic.c ...

About the use on other platform, maybe but do other platform need that a
lot ?
Here we have several unit that need to be mapped at different places ...
