Subject: [PATCH] of: Fix uninitialized child warning in for_each_child_of_node() if !OF

If CONFIG_OF=n:

drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c: In function ‘i2c_add_mux_adapter’:
drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c:158: warning: ‘child’ is used uninitialized in this function

drivers/mfd/stmpe.c: In function ‘stmpe_of_probe’:
drivers/mfd/stmpe.c:1112: warning: ‘child’ is used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/tc3589x.c: In function ‘tc3589x_probe’:
drivers/mfd/tc3589x.c:324: warning: ‘child’ is used uninitialized in this function
drivers/power/charger-manager.c: In function ‘of_cm_parse_desc’:
drivers/power/charger-manager.c:1606: warning: ‘child’ is used uninitialized in this function

Introduced by commit 00b2c76a6abbe082bb5afb89ee49ec325e9cd4d2
("include/linux/of.h: make for_each_child_of_node() reference its args when
CONFIG_OF=n").

Instead of dropping the "__of_use_dn(child)" again, explicitly set child
to NULL, to protect against code using child after the loop (child == NULL
is the loop termination condition if CONFIG_OF=y).
