I don't see anything in the SSDB that might refer to that, though of
course we're lacking documentation for it so it could be a part that we
don't understand yet.

Ah, that's neat though. But I'll leave it at a check at the top of the
loop for now.

I'm going to keep it, if you have no strong feelings, partly through
caution but also because the other place swnodes are most heavily used
(drivers/platform/x86/intel_cht_int33fe_typec.c) _does_ perform the
check, so consistency too.

You're not the only one - maybe I need to spend the time and it'll save
time in the future
