Could we switch this to device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev)?

Whilst is unlikely this driver will used in a platform using ACPI, there
is nothing inside the driver itself preventing this (which is good as no
reason to do so!)   My main motivation for this is to reduce the chances
of cut and paste of the of_* functions in future driver.

Also switch the headers to linux/property.h and linux/mod_devicetable.h 
to more tightly reflect what we are using in the driver.

Thanks,

Jonathan
