From: Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@kernel.org> In order to drop the dependency on CONFIG_OF, convert all device property getters from OF-specific to generic device properties and stop pulling in any linux/of.h symbols.Is the intention to read these properties from ACPI tables?No. Other than a couple property getters which can use the fwnode abstraction, there's nothing here that requires the OF dependence.
So what is the need for not using OF? Why do you want this patch?
