[PATCH 1/4] of: rework of_attach_node, removing CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC

Remove the OF_DYNAMIC config option, which makes of_attach_node/of_detach_node
available without a specific config option.  CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC wasn't actually
being used by anything, as the drivers which made use of of_attach_node
weren't depending upon or selecting it.

This also reworks of_attach_node to honor node ordering by time, rather than
creating the allnext/sibling list in reverse order.  This has a number of
ramifications worth mentioning:

 - 'last_child' is added to the device_node struct, and used to figure out
   where a node should be added in the tree.  This will take the place of
   the 'next' field.
 - 'allnodes' is no longer used.  It is assumed that the parent node is already
   attached to the tree.  What this really means is a simple assignment of
   "allnodes = root_node;" prior to calling of_attach_node(root_node).
 - The sibling list is guaranteed to retain order by insertion (later
   insertions showing up later in the list).
 - There are no similar guarantees for the allnext list with respect to
   parents, their children, and their siblings.  While siblings are
   guaranteed to be ordered by time, children may come before a sibling,
   or after.  That is, one ordering of the allnext list may be: "/", "/pci",
   "/isa", "/pci/foo", "/pci/bar".  Another perfectly valid ordering (and
   this *will* happen depending upon how insertions are done) is: "/",
   "/pci", "/pci/foo", "/pci/bar", "/isa".  The only thing that is
   guaranteed is that the sibling list will be "/pci", "/isa" (if "/isa"
   is added later), and that "/pci" will come before "/isa" in the allnext
   list.
