Do not dereference of_node, use dev_of_node(), it will help in the future
if we want to reorganise firmware nodes in the struct device.

So, why not doing

	struct device_node *np;
	const char *propname;
	...
	np = dev_of_node(data->dev);
	propname = "aspeed,trim-syscon";
	if (of_property_present(np, propname)) {
		scu = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle(np, propname);
		...
	}
	...
