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?

We've had a higher-level abstraction for OF nodes for years now. Since
I'm already touching the driver, it makes sense to switch to using it,
as OF-centric APIs are not recommended in new code even if it's an
OF-only driver.
