Subject: [PATCH 1/3] of: always populate a root node

When enabling CONFIG_OF on a platform where of_root is not populated by
firmware, we end up without a root node. In order to apply overlays and
create subnodes of the root node, we need one. This commit creates an
empty root node if not present.
