dev->of_node is not necessary for imx-drm - imx-drm comes up fine without.

Fixing _this_ code for that is not too difficult - it's a matter of:

	priv->sd.of_node = pdata->of_node;

in imx_csi_probe().  However, the difficult bit is the poor state of
code in v4l2, particularly the v4l2-async crap.  Right now, fixing the
module autoloading will oops the kernel, so it's best that module
autoloading remains broken for the time being.
