I don't know for sure but I think Andy simply means that you should take a look in include/linux/property.h and replace every function named of_* with the corresponding fwnode_* or device_* function from that file, and it should all just magically work the same, but abstracted away from device tree. It's not much more than a search/replace and rename operation (unless there is a "hole" in the fwnode implementations... I hope not.) In the end you can keep just <linux/property.h> and drop <linux/of.h> and <linux/of_device.h> if this works. Yours, Linus Walleij
