RFC 1/1 driver-core: Add device node pointer to struct device

Greg and Kay,

This is a patch from a larger series of OF related cleanup patches. This one adds a new 'of_node' member to struct device, conditional upon CONFIG_OF. The goal is to move of_node out of archdata because all arches using CONFIG_OF need it.

Before I commit too much effort down this path, I want to get your feedback. Do you have any objections to this change to struct device?

Thanks,

Currently, platforms using CONFIG_OF add a 'struct device_node *of_node' to dev->archdata. However, with CONFIG_OF becoming generic for all architectures, it makes sense for commonality to move it out of archdata and into struct device proper.

This patch adds a struct device_node *of_node member to struct device and updates all locations which currently write the device_node pointer into archdata to also update dev->of_node. Subsequent patches will modify callers to use the new location and ultimately remove the archdata member entirely.

I added the #ifdef because it is complete dead weight when CONFIG_OF is not set. However, I'll defer to your preference here on what looks cleaner w.r.t. maintenance.

Ok, you can leave it as-is, that's not a problem. As long as we don't have to #ifdef the core code, it should be fine.
