I think you need some of the above to be #ifdef CONFIG_OF + empty
stubs in the else case, and the above assignment should use
of_match_ptr() to wrap the assignment. Take a look at how some of the
other drivers in the kernel handle the OF bindings on platform drivers
for reference.

The bindings look reasonable to me; what they don't cover is where in
the device tree the node should reside. To be honest, I think it's
probably better to leave it fairly vague since different platforms
might prefer different locations -- it's really software configuration
data more than a description of the system hardware.

Besides that, this looks good as far as I am concerned.
