Some of the functions do not provide a Return: section on absence of which
kernel-doc complains. Besides that several functions return the fwnode
handle with bumped reference count. Add a respective note to make sure
that the caller drops it when it's not needed anymore.
While at it, unify the style of the Return: sections.

I don't think device_for_each_child_node() should be mentioned here. This
isn't really related to that in particular.

Yes and this is exactly what people stumbled over. Hence this note.
This call per se doesn't loop, so I didn't get how your comment can
be transformed to anything here. Care to elaborate a bit more on
what I have to add here or reword?

Okay, I will drop this change. It's anyway out of the scope of this patch.

Thanks, but due to above I can't apply it right away.

Ah, indeed. This is achieved by putting the previous child. Generally this
function is used via the loop helper macro and not called directly, hence
the documentation there matters the most. Those functions appear to be
without any documentation though.

Good question.
How about this text:
The caller is responsible for calling fwnode_handle_put() put on the
returned fwnode. Note that this function also puts a reference to @child
unconditionally.
This is actually done by the firmware specific implementation, namely on OF
and at least should be done on swnode.
A second patch to document the fwnode iterator macros would be nice.

Fine. Does it mean I have to change existing wording of the first sentence
everywhere?

Yes, that's. But it's not needed to be added.

Not the reported problem. Maybe someone else can do the job?

It's perhaps not the most pressing issue at the moment. Let's see.
