Hi, This series adds support for software fwnode reference handling. In practice it means making fwnode_property_get_reference_args() function usable in the drivers also with software nodes. I send the series originally as RFC [1]. As the first user for the software node references, I'm converting intel_cht_int33fe.c to use them as part of the series.
