Because it hasn't been added yet! I only just committed the change to
convert device_nodes into kobjects in v3.14. The next step is to add
driver symlinks.

That said, the devicetree node is already exposed in the uevent for a
device. It should already be possible to find all device tree nodes that
don't have a device, or devices without a driver:

To get a list of all nodes:

find /proc/device-tree/ -type d | sed -e 's/\/proc\/device-tree//'

or a little more nuanced, only choosing nodes with a compatible property:

for k in `find /proc/device-tree/ -name compatible`; do
	echo $(dirname $k) | sed -e 's/\/proc\/device-tree//'
done | sort

It can get even more refined than that if need be.

To get a list of all nodes with a device that has been created:

for k in `find devices -name uevent`; do
	grep '^OF_FULLNAME' $k | sed -e 's/OF_FULLNAME=//'
done | sort

To get a list of all nodes with a device that has been bound to a driver:

for k in `find devices -name uevent`; do
	if [[ -d $(dirname $k)/driver ]]; then
		grep '^OF_FULLNAME' $k | sed -e 's/OF_FULLNAME=//'
	fi
done | sort


The suggestions you have below would be the anything in the first list
that isn't in the second or third:

bound=$(for k in `find /sys/devices -name uevent`; do
		if [[ -d $(dirname $k)/driver ]]; then
			grep '^OF_FULLNAME' $k | sed -e 's/OF_FULLNAME=//'
		fi
	done)

nodes=$(for k in `find /proc/device-tree/ -name compatible`; do
		echo $(dirname $k) | sed -e 's/\/proc\/device-tree//'
	done | sort)

for n in $nodes; do
	if ! echo $bound | grep -q "$n"; then
		echo $n $(cat /proc/device-tree/$n/compatible)
	fi
done
