Meanwhile, this patch also only shows numa_node for those platform devices with "real"
hardware and acpi support. For those platform devices which are not "real", numa_node
sys entry will not be created as dev_to_node(dev) == NUMA_NO_NODE.
For instances,
smmu is a platform device with "real" hardware backend, it gets a numa_node like:
root@...ntu:/sys/bus/platform/devices/arm-smmu-v3.0.auto# cat numa_node
0
root@...ntu:/sys/bus/platform/devices/arm-smmu-v3.7.auto# cat numa_node
2
snd-soc-dummy is a platform device without "real" hardware, then it gets no numa_node:
root@...ntu:/sys/bus/platform/devices/snd-soc-dummy# ls
driver driver_override modalias power subsystem uevent
