Ack. Will add it in next spin.

You want to remove the of_device_is_compatible check and by default set 
the 'forced' to true, if the SCM call fails? Currently it clearly states 
why we are forcing the convention. If we remove it, we may not able to 
identify which target FW lacks this scm call support and why we are 
forcing it...
