You are assuming that the fwnode was Device Tree pointer.

The point of a fwnode is that it could be one of multiple types.

What if it was a pointer to an ACPI property?
Yes, i missed to check in other perspective. Thanks for pointing it.
While going through the System control driver to address the query, i noticed that System Control
driver is talking with 'of' framework only. (No ACPI)

So, i think to add a defensive check and return error pointer if 'to_of_node' returns NULL As System control Driver cannot talk with ACPI, so fwnode_to_regmap() cannot talk and return error.

Or, the other option is removing the 'fwnode_to_regmap()' definition itself, to avoid confusion as fwnode can
point to 'OF', 'ACPI'or 'swnode'.

But, i feel return error for ACPI or oother, looks better because 'device_node' has fwnode pointer. And provide description in the header file, mentioning function is success for 'OF' and returns error for the rest.

Regards,
Dilip
