While running command "drmgr -c phb -r -s 'PHB 528'", following
backtrace jumped out because the target device node isn't marked
with OF_DETACHED by of_detach_node(), which caused by error
returned from memory hotplug related reconfig notifier when
disabling CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. The patch fixes it.
