Agreed, I'd also prefer your proposed code over Grant's macros.

Yes, just don't do any concatenation to generate the names of the called
functions, i.e.
return fwnode_call(of_property_read_u32, acpi_dev_prop_read, DEV_PROP_U32, node, propname, val);
is better than
return fwnode_call(u32, DEV_PROP_U32, node, propname, val);
because it's easier to understand the call chain.
