I'd say so. Feel free to cc me to the last patch as well.

I guess one way to make this clearer is to switch to
fwnode_for_each_child_node() in a separate patch before
fwnode_for_each_named_child_node() conversion.

There are also just a handful of users of
fwnode_for_each_available_child_node() and I guess these could be
converted, too, but I think it's outside the scope of the set.
