From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>
mfd_add_device() assigns .of_node in the device objects it creates only
if the mfd_cell for the device has the .of_compatible field set and the
DT node for the top-level MFD device contains a child whose compatible
property matches the cell's .of_compatible field.
This leaves .of_node unset in many cases. When this happens, entries in
the DT /aliases property which refer to the top-level MFD DT node will
never match the MFD child devices, hence causing the requested alias not
to be honored.
Solve this by setting each MFD child device's .of_node equal to the top-
level MFD device's .of_node field in the cases where it would otherwise
remain unset.
The first use-case for this will be aliases for the TPS6586x's RTC
device.

The 3 patches in this series are all independent; they can be applied
to their respective subsystems in any order. I'm simply posting them as
a series to make the use-case more obvious.
