Hi Calvin

This appears to but a cut and paste, follow by an intelligent
s/of/fwnode/g.

Did you make any attempt to consolidate the two implementations?  It
seems like there should be some level of abstraction that hides away
the difference between DT properties, and DT properties stuffed into
ACPI tables?
