Yes, something along those lines makes sense.

If there are enough instances of this we can have a standard
definition for this similar to the i2c / spi ones that defaults
to device_get_match_data() if available, and falls back to the old
way if not.

If you want to add that great, if not it can be a separate
bit of work for another day.
