All the Tegra30/124/210 EMC drivers are already duplicating that MC
lookup code and only the recent T210 driver does it properly.

That's correct, it will be also needed for the new functionality as
well, hence even more drivers will need to perform the MC lookup.

I don't quite understand why you're asking for the phandle reference,
it's absolutely not needed for the MC lookup and won't work for the
older DTs if DT change will be needed. Please give a detailed explanation.
