This /could/ be a useful compile-time optimisation: when CONFIG_OF is
disabled, dev->of_node exists but will always be NULL - but the
compiler doesn't know this.  Your suggestion above would tell the
compiler that when CONFIG_OF is disabled, OF_NODE_ENABLED() will
evaluate to a constant false, which means it can eliminate code.
