I do not fully understand the point. I think the issue is that we do not 
know if a given of_node is created by of_pci_make_dev_node(), correct?

of_node->data can point to anything. And we do not know if it points a 
cset or not.  Do you mean to add a flag (e.g. OF_PCI_DYNAMIC) to 
indicate of_node->data points to cset?

I probably misunderstood. Could you explain more?
