What a great idea. ;)

'O' is not very obvious, but I imagine we are somewhat limted in our
choice here?

We should think about what else we want to print for a node. Perhaps
'On' for name, 'Oc' for compatible, etc.

You can move this into the function:

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF)
  return NULL;

Looks like you'll need the patch for empty of_node_check_flag as well.

With the above, then this ifdef should not be needed.
