This looks like another instances of the lack of clarify about
what device_for_each_child_node[_scoped]() guarantees about node availability.
On DT it guarantees the node is available as ultimately calls
of_get_next_available_child()
On ACPI it doesn't (I think).
For swnode, there isn't an obvious concept of available.
It would be much better if we reached some agreement on this and
hence could avoid using the fwnode variants just to get the _available_ form
as done here. Or just add the device_for_each_available_child_node[_scoped]()
and call that in almost all cases.
In generic code, do we ever want to walk unavailable child nodes?
