Do you mean new of_bus entry?

What kind of refactoring? And what you mean by "customized
platform_bus_type"? Please elaborate more.

In fact one of my first attempts to upstream Qualcomm PMIC driver here
[1] I'm using of_get_address() over each child node to get the register
addresses and constructing resources for them manually. After that those
resources are passed to mfd_add_devices().

This implementation does not get accepted from Lee Jones with teh
argument that it re-implement of_platform_populate and he will need an
Ack from OF maintainers.

Do you mean with the statement above "It needs to decode its own address
in that case, which it can easily do" something like what I've done in [1]?
