In the cover, you mention device.h inclusion but I'm not seeing it? This is
clearly up to the DT maintainers to decide but, IMHO, I would very much pre=
fer
to see fwnode.h included in here rather than directly device.h (so yeah,
renaming the function to fwnode_*). But yeah, I might be biased by own seri=
es :)
