Re: [PATCH] of: return NUMA_NO_NODE from fallback of_node_to_nid()

here is proposed fix:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org/msg864009.html

It returns NUMA_NO_NODE from both static-inline (CONFIG_OF=n) and weak
version of of_node_to_nid(). This change might affect few arches which
whave CONFIG_OF=y but doesn't implement of_node_to_nid() (i.e. depends
on default behavior of weak function). It seems this is only metag.

 From mm/ point of view returning NUMA_NO_NODE is a right choice when
code have no idea which numa node should be used -- memory allocation
functions choose current numa node (but they might use any).
