No, please. This really is a bad idea. This sort of catch-all have
constantly proven to be a nuisance, because they discard all the
topology information. Eventually, you realise that you need to know
where this is coming from, but it really is too late.

I'd rather you *synthesise* a fwnode (like ACPI does) rather then do
this.
