Ah, indeed. I forgot this part. I wonder if it'd cause issues to return the
primary if you've got the secondary swnode.

Heikki, any idea?

Code elsewhere (e.g. V4L2 fwnode framework + drivers) assume a device is
identified by a single fwnode, not two --- currently the swnode graph
function returning port parent returns the secondary so there's no match
with the primary fwnode.
