Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the review. Please find our response inline below.
We have made several changes in the driver as part of v3 and will be
sending it shortly.

Fixed in v3. Removed dsm_func_to_prop_name() and all IWL_DT_PROP_*
defines. iwl_dt_get_dsm() now dispatches via a direct switch on the
function index to individual per-property functions (iwl_dt_get_srd(),
iwl_dt_get_6e_uhb(), etc.), each calling of_property_read_*() directly
with the literal property string — consistent with how every other
driver uses the OF API.

Best Regards,
Avinash

Pointless function and only making DT ABI checks difficult. Drop.

Don't invent API wrappers or other HAL over simple calls to OF or device API.

Drop also ALL defines and use OF API like EVERY other driver. This is not a special place.
