Maybe just expose a function to the device node for a CPU ID here, and
expect callers to use of_node_to_nid?

shall i make this wrapper function in dt_numa.c, which will use
functions _of_node_to_nid and  _of_cpu_to_node(cpu)

Yes, I guess that would work.

And,  this function can be a weak function in numa.c which returns 0.

No, please don't use weak functions. You can either use IS_ENABLED()
tricks to remove function calls at compile-time, or in the header
file provide an inline function as an alternative to the extern
declaration, based on a configuration symbol.

ok
