I think it's save to call of_platform_populate(), even if !of_node.
It will just fail and return an error code, which you are ignoring
anyway.

I'd prefer this check to be placed in lm3533_pdata_from_of_node().
Just return silently if !dev->of_node.

I thought so too, but that's apparently how you trigger probing children
of the root node. So we're stuck with a conditional.

Ah, so this is to protect against the case where DT is present, but a
node for this device is not (or is disabled), so is left unprobed.
Then the bind is initiated via I2C? Or something else?

In the event that a new lm3533 is spawned from sysfs we would not have
platform_data when entering lm3533_device_init() and just bail early.
Therefor, this issue would be limited to the odd case of lm3533 being
initiated from code (e.g. a board file) on a DT enabled system. In which
case it will create and probe new devices from the root of the DT.

Eewww, do we really want to support that?

As long as we support non-DT probing of the driver this is a possible
scenario. And with modern ARM being DT-centric I think that if anyone
uses this driver with a modern version of the Linux kernel it's likely
that they would have this kind of hybrid solution.
So, although ugly, I think we should keep this conditional and hope that
anyone using the driver will transition to use the DT binding.

Very well, but can you add a comment describing the reason for its
existence with a view to removing it further down the line?
