[PATCH v4 7/8] of/platform: Sanity check DT bindings before creating device links

[Saravana Kannan]

If a common DT binding is pointing to a child DT node of a particular
parent DT node, don't add device links for such DT references. This is
because, by definition, a child node can't be a functional dependency for
the parent node.
