    of: Move dynamic node fixups out of powerpc and into common code · a25095d4

    PowerPC does an odd thing with dynamic nodes. It uses a notifier to
    catch new node additions and set some of the values like name and type.
    This makes no sense since that same code can be put directly into
    of_attach_node(). Besides, all dynamic node users need this, not just
    powerpc. Fix this problem by moving the logic out of arch/powerpc and
    into drivers/of/dynamic.c.
    
    It is also important to remove this notifier because we want to move the
    firing of notifiers from before the tree is modified to after so that
    the receiver gets a consistent view of the tree, but that is
    incompatible with notifiers that modify the node.
