I'm wondering if may avoid adding more forward declarations...

Perhaps it's a sign that devlink code should be split to its own
module?

I believe we tolerate a bit longer lines, so you may still have it on a single
line.

Redundant assignment.

You may have above something like


	fwnode = dev_fwnode(dev);
	if (fwnode && fwnode->dev == dev) {

			__fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers(child, fwnode);
