Make sense, currently we only use this driver on ACPI-base platforms
where the vendor-specific power/clock/phy sequencing is abstracted by
firmware (the dedicated wakeup irq may be vendor-specific due to not
defined in spec), and we don't have a DT-based platform exercising this
yet.

I will drop the OF match table in the next version and keep it focuesd
on ACPI for now.

Yes, I already looked through your series when prepare these patches,
thanks
