    powerpc: Drop GPL from of_node_to_nid() export to match other arches

Low, since the commit just exports a symbol and is specific to powerpc.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
