This change results the wrong semantics. MFD overrides Device Tree,
such that if a device is supplied and registered using
mfd_add_device(s) it should be probed. The only reason we provide a
pointer to the of_node is for the child device to pull properties
from.

If a device should only be probed if an OF node exists, then it should
not be registered at the MFD level.
