I didn't notice at the time that you already call of_device_get_match_data()
at driver runtime, but please be aware that it is a relatively expensive
operation (takes raw spinlocks, iterates etc), or at least much more
expensive than it needs to be. What other drivers do is cache the result
of this function once in priv->info and just use priv->info, since it
won't change during the lifetime of the driver.

I thought you were going to create a dedicated sub-structure for
function pointers?
