Actually if CONFIG_OF is not enabled, then dev->dev.of_node. So you can
keep the test but just remove the test on IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF).
But my remark about CONFIG_OF, was more to point that if there is no
device tree support then this part of code won't work well if you have
several ports using the same driver.
So either you keep your driver as is but make it depends on CONFIG_OF to
make it clear that it won't work with ACPI. Or you add the case for
ACPI, but I think you don't have a board with ACPI support so you won't
be able to test it.
A third solution would be to have a fallback when of_alias_get_id failed
(either because there is no alias in the device tree or there is no
device tree at all). In this case you can just increment the id for each
new port.
