Subject: [PATCH v5 08/11] of/platform: Make sure supplier DT node is device
 when creating device links

While most phandle references in common bindings point to the supplier
device node, there are also common bindings where the phandle can
pointing to a child node of the supplier device node.

Therefore, when trying to find the supplier device that corresponds to a
supplier phandle, we need to make sure we are using the supplier's
device node. Otherwise, we'll never find the supplier device.
