I took a look at this. The correct fix here is to use dev_to_node() instead:
diff --git a/drivers/nvdimm/of_pmem.c b/drivers/nvdimm/of_pmem.c
index 85013bad35de..0a701837dfc0 100644
--- a/drivers/nvdimm/of_pmem.c
+++ b/drivers/nvdimm/of_pmem.c
@@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ static int of_pmem_region_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
*/
memset(&ndr_desc, 0, sizeof(ndr_desc));
ndr_desc.attr_groups = region_attr_groups;
- ndr_desc.numa_node = of_node_to_nid(np);
+ ndr_desc.numa_node = dev_to_node(&pdev->dev);
ndr_desc.res = &pdev->resource[i];
ndr_desc.of_node = np;
set_bit(ND_REGION_PAGEMAP, &ndr_desc.flags);
And we should remove the exported symbol.
I'll send a proper patch.
