Pass a pointer to device-tree node in case the driver probed from

That should not be an unsigned long, but rather an 'int'.  Something got
messed up, of_setup_earlycon() should be changed to reflect this before
propagating the error to other places in the kernel.

It's a pointer, but what puzzles me, why it can't be declared as a such:

 struct device_node *node;

?

And it's not really a "node" but an "offset", right?

Seems no.
