Sometimes it doesn't make any sense for a node to have an address.
In this case device lookup will always be unsuccessful because we
currently assume every node will have a reg property. This patch
changes the semantics so that the resource address and the lookup
address will only be compared if one exists.
Things like AUXDATA() rely on of_dev_lookup to return the lookup
entry of a particular device in order to do things like apply
platform_data to a device. However, this is currently broken for
nodes which do not have a reg property, meaning that platform_data
can not be passed in those cases.

Do you have something dependent on this or want me to apply?

I have things that require this patch yes. Please apply.
Thanks Rob.

I guess Rob's question was whether you want to keep this together
with the patch that depends on it rather than him applying just
the one patch.
No, it's not important.
I'll send you the other patch as part of my DT pull-request.
I'm just waiting on Linus' Ack on a few patches and it'll be ready.
