Lazy answer - everyone else is doing the same, and nobody cared to add an
explanation.
For *some* drivers, this is likely because the same device may be enumerated
from e.g ACPI or OF, and for an ACPI device -ENODEV will be returned, as
dev->of_node is NULL.
For devices which are only usable in an OF context, this is bogus. Not sure
about sunxi-rsb.

*If* sunxi-rsb can be used without OF, then yes, otherwise no.
