How so ? If a notifier entry points to a device node, and two subdevs
are registered with different endpoint nodes that are both part of the
same device node, the notifier will get either of them. Which subdev
match the notifier won't be guaranteed, but that's what the notifier
asked for if it contains a device node and not an endpoint node: any
subdev corresponding to the device node.

In practice notifiers will need to move to endpoint matching if they
want to get a particular subdev of a device, and this change allows
doing so without mass-patching every driver. It allows a notifier to
switch to endpoint nodes, while subdevs still use device nodes and are
gradually ported.
