Thanks Jonas.  I've actually already got a patch that does the exact
ame thing in my private tree.  However, it requires an ugly #ifdef
statement because the of_node pointer is not available when CONFIG_OF
is not selected.  Before I commit to this patch, I want to see if I
can come up with a cleaner way for drivers to reference of_node when
CONFIG_OF is not set.  I could use a macro, but I'd rather not have to
wrap every reference with a macro.

Regardless, it is on my radar, and I hope to settle on a solution
sometime in the next week.
