I think we could instead just get rid of this kconfig option. Or
always enable with CONFIG_OF (except on Sparc). The only cost of
enabling it is init section functions which get freed anyways.

Just a side comment, but I think many/all callers of this function could
just be removed.
I don't love new flags. Another possible way to handle this would be
checking for "compatible" being present in the root node. I guess this
is fine as-is for now at least.
