Don't access of_root directly as it reduces the build test coverage for
this driver with COMPILE_TEST=y and OF=n. Use existing helper functions
to retrieve the relevant information.

I am not so fond of these of_find_node_by_path("/") + something replacements.
What about adding an of_match_root() helper?

However, in the previous patch you used a different strategy:

-       if (!of_match_node(imx8_soc_match, of_root))
+       if (!of_machine_device_match(imx8_soc_match))
