No, at least your code structure should support both dt and non-dt,
and let the compile pass for non-dt platform if you don't have one.
Then, someone with non-dt platform can change few to support it. 
A good example is: drivers/usb/host/ehci-platform.c

Not must, one suggestion is: can you change the compatible string
to "chipidea-usb-generic"?
