I'd prefer to keep them in both.

The match function tries the of_device_id path first and if we
should ever get a typo or mismatch we can end up with a driver
failing in a way that is annoyingly hard to track down.  
It has happened :(  Now I'd love us to get to the point
where we could just have the of_device_id table (and maybe
ACPI on occasion) but we aren't there today.

This came up in v17 where I asked why they were missing and Chris
mentioned it would be fine to drop them.
