Yes.

Right. But instead of checking "of_node->data == of_pci_free_node",
you would just be checking "*(of_node->data) == of_pci_free_node"
(omitting a NULL check and cast for simplicity). I suppose in theory
that could have a false match, but that could happen in this patch
already.

That would be another option, but OF_PCI_DYNAMIC would not be a good
name because that would be a flag bit for every single caller needing
similar functionality. Name it just what it indicates: of_node->data
points to cset

If we have that flag, then possibly the DT core can handle more
clean-up itself like calling detach and freeing the changeset.
Ideally, the flags should be internal to the DT code.
