I think it's complementary. The code above is "I have a device, I want
its _ADR". whereas acpi_find_child_device() is "I have an _ADR, I want
its device". I could flip things around to use this, but it would turn
the code from linear into quadratic. I'd have to scan each possible
address and call acpi_find_child_device() with that _ADR to see if
there's a child device there.

Oh, I'm not aware of those threads. I'd need some advice: I guess a
new fwnode_* API would make sense for this, but I had trouble coming
up with a generic interface. _ADR is just a blobbo 64 bit int, but
DT's "reg" is a little more flexible, having a length, and potentially
being an array. I suppose it would have to be something like:

int fwnode_property_read_reg(const struct fwnode_handle *fwnode,
                                 size_t index, uint64_t *addr, uint64_t *len);

But then ACPI would always return 0 for length, and only index 0 would
ever work? I'm worried I'm designing an API that's only useful to me.

I tried to look around for other examples of this specific pattern of
_ADR then "reg", but struggled to turn up much.
