Is there a reason for using spinlocks here? OF uses a mutex for
locking since we don’t expect OF manipulation occurring in a
non schedulable context.

The two argument format is not very readable. Perhaps use a structure instead?

I think this is very similar to the way of_match_node works.
Find a way to use that instead?

spinlock and possibly sleeping?

Same here.
