yes. How different is this from any of the above mentioned drivers using
firmware specific ids. Like sci pm domain[1] driver utilizes the same
device id for enabling any device in the system. Similarly clock
driver[2] uses the same device ids and clock ids specified by firmware.
There are more which similarly represents firmware ids from DT.

That's horrible. We really must not use any firmware invented
numbers in the device as they do not describe hardware.

No firmware invented numbers in the device tree I mean naturally.
Drivers do whatever they need to do to deal with the firmware.
