I was going to say that this kerneldoc is weirdly formatted, but when I
looked at the other kerneldoc comments in this file it seems that they
use similarly weird formatting...

I wonder if of_find_node_by_path("/") is somewhat overkill here. Perhaps
simply of_node_get(of_allnodes) would be more appropriate here since the
function is implemented in the core?
