  At a first look it might seem that the presence of the of_node pointer
in the nvmem device does not matter much, but in practice, after looking
deep into the DT core, nvmem_add_cells_from_dt() will simply and always
return NULL if this field is not provided. As most mtd devices don't
populate this field (this could evolve later), it means none of their
children cells will be populated unless no_of_node is explicitly set to
false. In order to clarify the logic, let's add clear check at the
beginning of this helper.
