> In struct device_node, the phandle is named 'linux_phandle' for PowerPC
> and MicroBlaze, and 'node' for SPARC.  There is no good reason for the
> difference, it is just an artifact of the code diverging over a couple
> of years.  This patch renames both to simply .phandle.
> 
> Note: the .node also existed in PowerPC/MicroBlaze, but the only user
> seems to be arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/pfunc_core.c.  It doesn't
> look like the assignment between .linux_phandle and .node is
> significantly different enough to warrant the separate code paths
> unless ibm,phandle properties actually appear in Apple device trees.
> 
> I think it is safe to eliminate the old .node property and use
> linux_phandle everywhere.
