You should have a bus as the sub-node of root rather than devices
directly off of root. You still have a problem though...

This is only fixing one specific case, but I think things are broken
for any case where the NUMA associativity if not set at the top level
bus node. I think this should be something like:

if (parent && (dev_to_node(dev) != NO_NUMA_NODE))

Then the OF code can set the node however it wants.

And then remove the if here.
