I do.

We would like to discourage use of legacy platform data in favour
of Device Tree / ACPI.

Why not just replace of_ calls by device_ ones?

Looking how ACPI support is established in the driver, I would rather
NAK this change. Is there any _actual_ hardware on the wild with such
properties?

HID protocol for ACPI is described in [1] where nothing is about _DSD.
