But samsung-dsim is used together with the component framework, so this
doesn't work.

Seriously, I've been telling you that it doesn't work. We spent an hour
discussing this with Marek yesterday who also explained this to you.
Stop trying to make that happen, it just doesn't work.

Can we leave that solution behind and move forward?

No, you're not correct. Just like the documentation, Marek and I have
repeatedly told you.

Why not, dev->of_node is very much valid at probe time.
