Prefer the higher-level platform_device_set_fwnode() over the OF-specific platform_device_set_of_node() for dynamically allocated platform devices.Why? This driver is OF only. It does not support ACPI, and probably never will. In general, networking and ACPI don't go together, ACPI is not sufficiently advanced. What is you use case here?
The driver has been, or was used on ACPI-based platforms: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=99c6b06a37d4cab118c45448fef9d28df62d35d8 -- Florian
