Sorry, I failed to mention other issue, which led me call set_dev_node()
in probe. nd_async_device_register() calls device_add(), which does:

/* use parent numa_node */
if (parent)
set_dev_node(dev, dev_to_node(parent));

and overwrites numa_node to -1. Since region's parent is ndbusN, we
cannot set numa_node to the parent. So, I had to set it in probe.

Thanks,
-Toshi
