Ahh, I see what you're saying.

I used parent as the tag because I have a generic function for 
validating that the parent status is "okay" using the "parent" string in 
my validate_parent_available() function (see below).

I will be submitting other peripheral FIFOs with EDAC protection in 
future patches (USB, DMA, etc).

static int validate_parent_available(struct device_node *np)
{
	struct device_node *parent;
	int ret = 0;

	/* Ensure parent device is enabled if parent node exists */
	parent = of_parse_phandle(np, "parent", 0);
	if (parent && !of_device_is_available(parent))
		ret = -ENODEV;
	of_node_put(parent);
	return ret;
}


I can change this to using a passed in data string but the code won't be 
as straightforward.

Thanks for reviewing,

Thor
