of_platform_device_create is only defined when CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is set,
which is normally always the case when CONFIG_OF is defined, except on Sparc,
so explicitly check for CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS rather then for CONFIG_OF.

Doesn't this depend on the compiler optimizing the
of_platform_device_create call away?

Yes it does.

Isn't that rather dangerous assumption?

The kernel relies on being build with optimization enabled in various places,
this specific construction was suggested during review (by Grant Likely IIRC)
I initially had an #ifdef here. Note that this construction is used in various
places throughout the kernel and it seems to be used more and more often.

Regards,

Hans
