The use of asm-generic makes perfect sense.
This is how we usually deal with arch specific stuff.

With v3 of your patch we have a different result depending
on if we do:
#include <linux/of.h>

or we do:
#include <asm/prom.h>

This is undesireable.

I suggest to go back to v2 of your patch where you use asm-generic/of.h.

linux/of.h shall include asm/of.h
Then all archs shall have a of.h that may
include the asm-generic variant.


One patch to introduce of.h all over.
And a second patch to do the of_node_to_nid stuff would be appropriate.

This shall go in asm/of.h

This define is used to tell asm-generic/of.h that the arch has
a local definition - OK.

But I fail to see the purpose of this define.
