I thought of placing this helper in include/linux/of_device.h but I see:
#include <linux/of_platform.h> /* temporary until merge */

Does this mean of_platform.h and of_device.h will be merged ?
If so, which will be the final merged one ? I would like to avoid
changing all the header file inclusions later in users of this new helper.
