Shanker Donthineni 79f97c3051 ACPI / platform: Update platform device NUMA node based on _PXM method ...

The optional _PXM method evaluates to an integer that identifies the
proximity domain of a device object. On ACPI based kernel boot, the
field numa_node in 'struct device' is always set to -1 irrespective
of _PXM value that is specified in the ACPI device object. But in
case of device-tree based kernel boot the numa_node field is populated
and reflects to a DT property that is specified in DTS according to
the below document.

Without this patch dev_to_node() always returns -1 for all platform
devices. This patch adds support for the ACPI _PXM method and updates
the platform device NUMA node id using acpi_get_node() which provides
the PXM-to-NUMA mapping information.

The individual platform device drivers should be able to use the
NUMA-aware memory allocation functions kmalloc_node() and
alloc_pages_node() to improve performance.
