Patch looks fine, but I'd like to know the situation where you found
this problem. Again, anything calling these of_ helpers is probably
CONFIG_OF specific code.

I've resisted doing a blanket add of these helpers outside of CONFIG_OF
exactly because it helps identify CONFIG_OF code that should be compiled
out when CONFIG_OF=n
