There seems to be a general consensus to favor if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF)) 
instead of #ifdef CONFIG_OF when possible. I'm not sure what the opinion is 
regarding using conditional compilation to avoid compiling unnecessary data 
tables in. I would vote for using it (there's no need to bloat the kernel 
unnecessarily on non-OF platforms), but I'll conform to whatever is decided to 
be best.

I'll resubmit the patch with the DT bindings documentation fixed, and will 
submit yet another version if I need to remove the #ifdef.
