This needs your S-o-b as well since you sent the patch.

I think you should be checking just is this ACPI or DT rather than 
compatible. It's kind of an anti-pattern to test compatible in probe. 
The reason is we've already matched to a compatible and have match data 
to use, so we don't need to do it again. It becomes quite messy when 
there are numerous possible compatibles.

In C, we just do 'if (dev->of_node)' to check for DT or not.

It is just a sample, but I'm sure folks will copy it.
