This fixes a regression in __of_find_path() for flash devices created by
the cadence-quadspi driver, which do not have 'dev->driver' set.  Such
devices do not have 'dev->bus' set either, so we can use that to qualify
the existing test.

I am not entirely happy with this patch. Let's hope it won't fall on our
feet later. Applied for now, let's see.

Thanks! A slightly more robust test, that would still allow drivers to control their own bus-less child devices, would be to find the device or its nearest ancestor that exists and has ->bus set or ->driver set, and that check it has->driver set. That's awkward to explain in English (or German!), so:

	struct device_d *bdev;

	/* ... assuming dev exists ... */

	for (bdev = dev; bdev->parent && !bdev->bus && !bdev->driver;
	     bdev = bdev->parent)
		;
	if (!bdev->driver)
		return -ENODEV;	/* or perhaps -EPROBE_DEFER */

Perhaps that's overkill!
