There are lot of net drivers using of_get_child_by_name() followed by of_device_is_available() to find the available child node by name for a given parent. Provide a helper for these users to simplify the code. v1->v2: * Make it as a series as per [1] to cover the dependency. * Added Rb tag from Rob for patch#1 and this patch can be merged through net as it is the main user. * Updated all the patches with patch suffix net-next * Dropped _free() usage.
