Having both defined or only of_node defined works for me.

Perhaps the issue is that these drivers only add of_match_table, and 
thus having only .fwnode above is not enough.

Looking at i2c_device_match(), i2c_of_match_device() only uses of_node, 
so perhaps I would need CONFIG_ACPI for acpi_driver_match_device to do 
matching with of_node? Although I don't see the acpi code using fwnode, 
just of_node. Well, I have to say I have no idea without spending more 
time on this.

But your suggestion accesses desc.entry[0] even if there are no entries, 
accessing possibly uninitialized memory. In that case it doesn't use it 
for anything, but at least I find that kind of code worrying.

Yes, if you have a default. I don't. I could add a new magic number for 
the eq_level which means not-defined and use it as a default, but I 
don't usually like default values which are not 0. Here I have the 
manual_eq boolean to tell if we're using manual EQ or not.
