Do you mean a situation analogous to what I addressed in:
[net-next: PATCH v3 4/8] net: mvpp2: initialize port fwnode pointer
?

I found indeed a couple of drivers that may require a similar change
(e.g. dpaa2).

IMO we have 2 options:
- update these drivers
- add some kind of fallback? If yes, I am wondering about an elegant
solution - maybe add an extra check inside
fwnode_find_parent_dev_match?

What would you suggest?

Best regards,
Marcin
