My grep skills may not be 1337 enough, but I only see maybe three uses
of arch_data.prom_node in arch/sparc:

# git grep "\.prom_node" arch/sparc/ 
arch/sparc/include/asm/fb.h:    node = dev->archdata.prom_node;
arch/sparc/kernel/smp.c:        cpu_data(id).prom_node = cpu_node;
arch/sparc/kernel/of_device.c:  sd->prom_node = dp;

And about 15 in arch/powerpc.

Would it be simpler to have sparc use "of_node"? DaveM?

cheers
