The proposal sounds good to me but rather than adding CONFIG_OF dependency,
I'd instead suggest changing the of_property_read_u32 to
fwnode_property_read_u32; then the driver may work on ACPI based systems as
well. There's another change needed, too, which is not using of_match_ptr
macro, but instead assigning the of_match_table unconditionally.

Up to you.
