That's not at all obvious, no.

Yes, do what the other drivers are doing

One of two things is wrong here.  Either you've not provided any
information about the hardware so the driver won't be able to work out
what to talk to or you've not provided any data so you're registering a
purely virtual Linux-internal device via the device tree.



Once more, the idea here is to describe the hardware not to dump Linux's
internal data structures into the device tree.



We use it register the driver for probe()ing. In the same way we do
for the PMU and Regulators. All three of which actually belong to a
different hardware block. Do you know of a better way to register
those devices?


You've not identified which of the two cases above we're in...  assuming

I thought it would have been obvious by my response. The PMU seems to be 
a virtual device with no registers or IRQs.


I've found a DT which seems to do it in the same way as I do 
'arch/powerpc/boot/dts/p1022ds.dts', but some others call PCM

I thought it would have been obvious by my response. The PMU seems to be

I've found a DT which seems to do it in the same way as I do
