In the struct supplier_bindings the member 'node_not_dev' is described as "The consumer node containing the property is never a device.", but that doesn't match the behaviour of the code in of_link_property(). To make the behaviour consistent with the description, let's rename the member to "optional_con_dev" and clarify the corresponding comment.
