Okay, that's it.  Something obvious to you is not obvious to me :)
As I'm migrating an existing driver to be DT aware, I'm trying to avoid
changing any non-dt code.  Your suggestion would be obvious to me if I'm
writing a new driver that only supports DT.

Anyway, I got your point, and will follow that since you seems fine
with changing non-dt code to adopt dt support.
