Gosh, twice... I should be in a wrong branch :-(

Then the next question to Rob...

Rob,
Does it make sense to use that in the driver? So far I was using that 
only in the arch code to make the difference between the DT boot and the 
non-DT boot.

I guess that a driver should rely on of_match_device or non-NULL 
device_node to figure out that?

Thanks,
Benoit
