Hi Andy,

Thanks for cc'ing me.

From const to non-const? This is what this patch does, right?

If you have const struct device pointer, then the embedded fwnode handle in
that object sure is const, too. Isn't it?

If you really have const struct device pointer (where do you?), then I'd
suggest to add another function, dev_fwnode_const() that is otherwise the
same except the argument as well as the return value are const.

Or alternatively define it as a macro and use _Generic()?
