You knew the code and you was a designer. If you looked at this from the
perspective of a person who doesn't have an access to the driver source
code or isn't fluent in code analysis the things look different.

It's up to you. If you looked through the other kernel drivers, many of
them provide error messages when DT parsing fails.

OK, I had to refresh my memory and it turned out that I myself
also took part in that discussion. tmp is indeed required.

I am getting:

drivers/crypto/mv_cesa.c:1037:2: error: implicit declaration of function 
‘of_get_named_gen_pool’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Compilation succeeded after disabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_MV_CESA.
