Mhh, this _np functions was actually part of this series in the
beginning.

Can we be sure, that we always have a parent node? You are the first
which complains about this ;) There were some other comments to move
this to the beginning of the function.

Ok I'll look into that.

But I already have a question, so there are of_property_read_xx(), which
seems to be the old functions, then there is device_property_read_xx() 
and
fwnode_property_read_xx(). What is the difference between the latter 
two?

I want to make sure, the is no misconfiguration. Eg. only GPIO
flavors which has irq_support set, have the additional interrupt
registers.

They are longer than 80 chars. Or do I miss something?

Ahh an explanation, why this is bad. Ok makes sense, although to be 
fair,
.id_table should be used for the driver name matching. I'm not sure if
this is used somewhere else, though.
