There is no note that this one is optional, but is it right? The
default is 10 for local and 20 for remote connections.

If so, then ...

static int __init of_numa_parse_distance_map(void)
{
	int ret = -EINVAL;
	struct device_node *np = of_find_node_by_path("/distance-map");

	if (!np)
		return ret;

must return 0 instead of -EINVAL here.
