Shouldn't the reworked driver core code handle this differently with the
ability to handle either OF or ACPI in the same driver?

I'm not sure I understand the question. With these changes, the driver
handles both ACPI and DTB/OF. It's the same style of code as used
in drivers/ata/plat-xgene.c, which also handles both ACPI and DTB/OF.
Why do you think this code isn't correct?

There is a new framework in the kernel that keeps a driver from having
to query both of and acpi to get the needed resources, it just does one
query and depending on the platform, everything "just works".  Shouldn't
that be used here as well?

Would you send me a pointer to a driver that's using this new
framework? I can't find any references to it and all the other
drivers that support ACPI and OF are doing it the way I'm doing
it.
