PATCH v2 1/1 ACPI : Update platform device numa node based on _PXM method

The optional _PXM method evaluates to an integer that identifies the proximity domain of a device object. On ACPI based kernel boot, the field numa_node in 'struct device' is always set to -1 irrespective of _PXM value that is specified in the ACPI device object. But in case of device-tree based kernel boot the numa_node field is populated and reflects to a DT property that is specified in DTS according to the below document.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/numa.txt
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/of/device.c#L54

Without this patch dev_to_node() always returns a value of -1 for all platform devices. This patch implements support for ACPI _PXM method and updates the platform device numa node id using acpi_get_node(), which provides the PXM to NUMA mapping information. The individual platform device drivers should be able to use the NUMA aware memory allocation functions kmalloc_node() and alloc_pages_node() to improve the performance.

Not all the platform devices are attached to NUMA node 0 on Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies server chips. Platform device drivers needs to be aware of NUMA information to improve performance.
