I can't see adding calls like this all over the tree just to solve a
bus-specific problem, you are adding of_* calls where they aren't
needed, or wanted, at all.

This isn't bus specific, I'm not sure what makes you say that?

You are making it bus-specific by putting these calls all over the tree
in different bus subsystems semi-randomly for all I can determine.
Do you mean firmware rather than bus here?  I think that's the confusion
I have...
Certainly, if it literally is adding of_* calls then that would seem to
be gratuitously firmware-specific. Nothing should be using those these
days; any new code should be using the generic device property APIs
(except in special cases).
