This is a little ugly.

If this is the only way to identify the probedness of a device then
you probably want to neaten it up a little.  I suggest something along
the lines of:

if (of_find_property(pdev->dev.of_node, "phandle", NULL))
	already_probed = true;

Also, do you also want to check for "linux,phandle", as this is always
catered for in drivers/of/*
Thanks for pointing this out. I suppose I should just check
pdev->dev.of_node->phandle != 0 instead. That will already be
initialized by unflatten_dt_node if either property was found.

regards
Philipp
