OK, given both your and Matthew's responses, it sounds like the
additional properties are being parsed somewhere other than probe().
Where you that be? Every device I've worked on does all the DT parsing
(or platform data validation etc.) in probe(), or a child function
thereof, and stores the result in the drvdata struct. Is that not universal?
