[RFC PATCH 01/11] driver/core: cpu: initialize of_node in cpu's device struture

[Sudeep . KarkadaNagesha]

From: Sudeep KarkadaNagesha <sudeep.karkadanagesha@xxxxxxx>

CPUs are also registered as devices but the of_node in these cpu
devices are not initialized. Currently different drivers requiring
to access cpu device node are parsing the nodes themselves and
initialising the of_node in cpu device.

The of_node in all the cpu devices properly needs to be initialized
properly and at one place. The best place to update this is CPU
subsystem driver when registering the cpu devices.

This patch introduces a new function arch_of_get_cpu_node and uses it
to assign of_node. The definition of this function can be overridden
by architecture specific implementation.
