Can we split this to two patches, i.e. one is almost the same as this one,
except the second one adds a new property check to the conditional?

If you agree to do so, you may add mine Rb tag to the first one out of three.

To the second and third ones, can we rather check if the device has fwnode
either ACPI or swnode? AFAIU now we have swnode assigned during MFD device
registration and can easily distinguish this w/o any additional properties.
