[PATCH RFC] driver core: ensure a device has valid node id in device_add()

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 21:36:19 EST


Currently a device does not belong to any of the numa nodes
(dev->numa_node is NUMA_NO_NODE) when the FW does not provide
the node id and the device has not no parent device.

According to discussion in [1]:
Even if a device's numa node is not set by fw, the device
really does belong to a node.

This patch sets the device node to node 0 in device_add() if
the fw has not specified the node id and it either has no
parent device, or the parent device also does not have a valid
node id.

There may be explicit handling out there relying on NUMA_NO_NODE,
like in nvme_probe().
