Subject: [PATCH] of: return of_get_cpu_node from of_cpu_device_node_get if CPUs are not registered

Instead of the callsites choosing between of_cpu_device_node_get if the
CPUs are registered as of_node is populated by then and of_get_cpu_node
when the CPUs are not yet registered as CPU of_nodes are not yet stashed
thereby needing to parse the device tree, we can call of_get_cpu_node
in case the CPUs are not yet registered.

This will allow to use of_cpu_device_node_get anywhere hiding the
details from the caller.

Hi Rob,

Let me know if you are OK with this change. I keep seeing different
drivers calling of_get_cpu_node or of_cpu_device_node_get based on what
they are aware of or copying from other place without knowing the
details. I am trying to avoid that and ask to use of_cpu_device_node_get
at all places instead.

Regards,
Sudeep
