IMHO the drivers are mis-using of_xlate, it shouldn't be looking up
drvdata at all.

So I wrote the series to clean this up and drop the calls to
of_find_device_by_node() and so on.

I left dart, exynos, msm and omap as-is, so I suggest you trim this
series to only those drivers and rely on my version to fix the rest.
