NAK.
DT should be treated as an ABI, and should describe the HW explicitly.
This makes no sense. This is also missing a binding document.
Have your module take a module parameter allowing you to bind it to
arbitrary devices, or do something like what PCI does where you can
bind/unbind arbitrary drivers to devices using sysfs.

As a general note, please use for_each_matching_node in situations like
this. That way you can reuse your existing of_device_id table, and not
reproduce the string.
That said, this is not necessary. The platform driver has an
of_match_table, so presumes the parent bus registers children, and hence
they should already have platform devices.
Thanks,
