[RFC PATCH 6/8] nvdimm: add PPC64 'device-node' property

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

The spapr-nvdimm driver is able to operate in two ways. The first
one is as a regular memory in which the NUMA node of the parent
pc-dimm class is used. The second mode, as persistent memory, allows for
a different NUMA node to be used based on the locality of the device.

At this moment we don't have a way to express this second NUMA node for
the persistent memory mode. This patch introduces a new 'device-node'
property that will be used by the PPC64 spapr-nvdimm driver to set a
second NUMA node for the nvdimm.
