Does this mean you have a device tree with STATIC nodes and DYNAMIC
nodes ? Does your code have to distinguish between static nodes from
dynamic ones when traveling the tree ? Is my imaginary of the scenario
as the following correct ?

	1. Device tree with static node is build at compile time.
	   (with some nodes marked "dynamic extensible").
	2. Travel the tree to init static node, for dynamic extensible
	   nodes, grow the tree.
	2.1 Init the dynamic nodes.
	3. Travel the tree again to do post-pci (whatever you call it)
	   init for static nodes.
