Subject: [PATCH 5.13 306/380] of: Dont allow __of_attached_node_sysfs() without CONFIG_SYSFS

From: Marc Zyngier <maz@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 6211e9cb2f8faf7faae0b6caf844bfe9527cc607 ]

Trying to boot without SYSFS, but with OF_DYNAMIC quickly
results in a crash:

While not having sysfs isn't a very common option these days,
it is still expected that such configuration would work.

Paper over it by bailing out from __of_attach_node_sysfs() if
CONFIG_SYSFS isn't enabled.
