[RFC PATCH v2 3/4] powerpc: refactor of_get_cpu_node to support other architectures

Hi Sudeep,

This looks good to me overall, but I have one more question inline.

I wonder how would this handle uniprocessor ARM (pre-v7) cores, for which 
the updated bindings[1] define #address-cells = <0> and so no reg 
property.
