Just require this to be in DT rather than having some default.

By design,  I am try very hard to let the code NOT fully  DT dependent. DT is nice , easy to learn and use.
But kernel side developer plan to follow UEFI + ACPI Specification on LS3A5000 + LS7A1000 platform. See [1]
There will no DT support then, provide a convention support  make the driver more flexible. I want the
driver works with minimal requirement. The driver just works on simple boards by put the following dc device
node in arch/mips/dts/loongson/loongson64g_4core_ls7a.dts,
Pick DT or ACPI for the platform, not both. We don't need to have both
in the kernel to support.

Hi, everybody

I have send new version of my patch,  there may still have flaws though.

Would you like to help to review it again?

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/102104/

@Rob @Maxime  @Krzysztof

I have  correct many issues as you guys mentioned  before,

if something get ignored and I may miss the point,  would like to mention it again

on my new patches?  because mails received previously got lost(flushed by new mails).

I can only reply to new reviews.

Thanks for your time.
