The test robot did not report the original problem, that was a problem
with your potential change.

Likewise, this is not a real issue, it was a problem with your previous
submission.

Why not just always set it?  Why check?  Would that matter?

Why #ifdef?

And why an int?

And why +1?

And what do you mean by "close to"?

And why would a platform device care about a numa node?  These are
devices that should NEVER care about numa things as they are not on a
real bus, or should care about performance things.  If they are, then
the device is on the wrong bus, right?

What device are you having numa problems with?  Why would acpi devices
care?

The node number in the device itself should be all that you need here,
no need to duplicate it, right?
