Why is this desirable? Please see the recent discussion at

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260322-remove-device-find-by-of-node-v1-0-b72eb22a1215@gmail.com

specifically replies from Andrew and myself.

Merely wanting to drop a dependency is not a good enough reason for
these kinds of conversions, because they in effect make the DT
properties also apply to ACPI which may not be appropriate (note
for example that MDIO busses are not represented in ACPI.)
