[PATCH v3 8/9] driver core: Replace dev->of_node_reused with DEV_FLAG_OF_NODE_REUSED
From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Thu Apr 02 2026 - 20:56:48 EST
In C, bitfields are not necessarily safe to modify from multiple
threads without locking. Switch "of_node_reused" over to the "flags"
field so modifications are safe.

Not fixing any known bugs; problem is theoretical and found by code
inspection. Change is done somewhat manually and only lightly tested
(mostly compile-time tested).
