Right, but the "feature" is somewhat awkward as you said. You
generally should know what port you are operating on.

I missed fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint() which has lots of users.
Though almost all of those are just "get the endpoint" and assume
there is only 1. In any case, it's a lot more than 3, so nevermind for
now.

Yes.

Well, we added that to avoid changing all the users at once.

Do we have a user? I don't think we need it because anywhere we need
the node iterator pointer outside the loop that can be done explicitly
(no_free_ptr()).

So back to the name, I don't think we need _scoped in it. I think if
any user treats the iterator like it's the old style, the compiler is
going to complain.

Actually, you would do "return_ptr(endpoint)" here.
