Andrew's comment on your first patch is a good summary of what this
patch series does, instead of consolidating the existing code and making
it less of_* centric and more firmware agnostic, this duplicates the
existing infrastructure almost line for line to create a fwnode specific
implementation. The preference would be for you to move away from that
and use device_* properties as much as possible while making the code
capable of handling all firmware implementations.

Can you also show a few DSDT for the devices that you are working so we
can a feeling of how you represented the various properties and
parent/child devices dependencies?
