I don't think we should add more CONFIG_OF specific code in drivers/base/ If you want to do this in "one common place", then I think the way to do this is have include/linux/of.h provide something like: void of_set_device_of_node(dev, of_node) { dev->of_node = of_node; dev->fw_node = &of_node->fwnode; /* bunch of other housekeeping like setting OF_POPULATED and doing proper of_node_get() */ // Passing NULL for of_node could undo all the above for dev->of_node. } And all the subsystems that create their own device from an of_node should use of_set_device_of_node() to set the device's of_node. That way, all this is done in a consistent manner across subsystems and avoid all of the of_get/put() and OF_POPULATED set/clear strewn all over the subsystems. For example a bunch of subsystems don't do of_get()/of_put() correctly when they det a device's of_node (I sent patches as I found them). -Saravana
