Humm, this is static so fine here, but based on my comments on patch
3, it would need to move too as base.c having a dependency on device.c
is backwards.

How about moving everything module related to drivers/of/module.c. Put
the new functions in of.h (rather than an of_module.h). Then maybe the
rest of device.c could move to inline wrappers or elsewhere.
