There won't be any need to rewrite the driver to add device tree support. All we need to do is add the device tree probe function.

Note we still have to figure out how to instantiate the device based on
the acpi data. I have no idea how that should be done, but it seems
odd if it is really supposed to be done as you have implemented it.
Maybe that is the case, but if so I would like to get a confirmation
from an acpi maintainer.

Me too.
