Some OF platforms (pseries and some SPARC systems) has their own
implementations of NUMA affinity detection rather than using the generic
OF_NUMA driver, which mainly exists for arm64. For other platforms one
of two fallbacks provided by the base OF driver are used depending on
CONFIG_NUMA.

In the CONFIG_NUMA=n case the fallback is an inline function in of.h.
In the =y case the fallback is a real function which is defined as a
weak symbol so that it may be overwritten by the architecture if desired.

The problem with this arrangement is that the real implementations all
export of_node_to_nid(). Unfortunately it's not possible to export the
fallback since it would clash with the non-weak version. As a result
we get build failures when:

a) CONFIG_NUMA=y && CONFIG_OF=y, and
b) The platform doesn't implement of_node_to_nid(), and
c) A module uses of_node_to_nid()

Given b) will be true for most platforms this is fairly easy to hit
and has been observed on ia64 and x86.

This patch remedies the problem by introducing the ARCH_HAS_OWN_OF_NUMA
Kconfig option which is selected if an architecture provides an
implementation of of_node_to_nid(). If a platform does not use it's own,
or the generic OF_NUMA, then always use the inline fallback in of.h so
we don't need to futz around with exports.

I'd rather have a specific kconfig symbol for the 'generic'
implementation, especially given that it doesn't appear to be all
that generic.

How specifically do we hit this? The only module I see using
of_node_to_nid in mainline is Cell EDAC driver.

I'm more inclined to figure out how to remove the export and provide a
non DT specific function if drivers need to know this.

The of_pmem driver is using it currently pending for a 4.17 pull
request. Stephen hit the compile failure in -next.

You mean the stuff reviewed last week in the middle of the merge
window? Sounds like 4.18 material to me.

It was originally posted for 4.16. The reposting and review came in
late this cycle, but outside of a critical issue I'd rather not delay
it again. The build error issue is resolved by not allowing modular
builds of this driver for now.
