Why? What is this for?
Can you elaborate? This commit message is poorly written...
And why firmware node is not enough for ACPI case?
I assume the fwnode in DT case is already provided by OF.

Too many unneeded characters. Why parentheses? Why negative check?

This looks like have a duplication.

Maybe it's possible to refactor this piece to be more compact?

In one case you use boolean, here is unsigned int for early flag, why is the
inconsistency added?

Why would you need this API in early stages?
