[PATCH 3/8] of: Create an of_device_request_module() receiving an OF node

[Miquel Raynal]

of_device_request_module() currently receives a "struct device" as main
argument, but the only use of this pointer is to access its .of_node
member. In practice, this function only needs a "struct
device_node". Let's move the logic into another helper which would
receive a "struct device_node" instead, and use that new helper from the
ancient of_device_request_module(). Exporting this new function will be
useful to request module loading when the "struct device" is not
available.
