[RFC] 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?

Full patch follows...

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.
