96b0af4b72 documentation: drivers/core/of: fix name of of_node symlink
commit 5590f3196b ("drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from
devices with an OF node") added a symlink called "of_node" to sysfs
however the documentation describes it as "of_path".

Fix the documentation to match what the code actually does.

5590f3196b drivers/core/of: Add symlink to device-tree from devices with an OF node
So I've been annoyed lately with having a bunch of devices such as i2c
eeproms (for use by VPDs, server world !) and other bits and pieces that
I want to be able to identify from userspace, and possibly provide
additional data about from FW.

Basically, it boils down to correlating the sysfs device with the OF
tree device node, so that user space can use device-tree info such as
additional "location" or "label" (or whatever else we can come up with)
propreties to identify a given device, or get some attributes of use
about it, etc...

Now, so far, we've done that in some subsystem in a fairly ad-hoc basis
using "devspec" properties. For example, PCI creates them if it can
correlate the probed device with a DT node. Some powerpc specific busses
do that too.

However, i2c doesn't and it would be nice to have something more generic
since technically any device can have a corresponding device tree node.

This patch adds an "of_node" symlink to devices that have a non-NULL
dev->of_node pointer, the patch is pretty trivial and seems to work just
fine for me.
