FWIW, I'd use "np" to store the intermediate value:

    struct device_node *np = to_of_node(fwnode);

     /*
      * Preserve usecount for passed in node as of_get_next_parent()
      * will do of_node_put() on it.
      */
    of_node_get(np);

    /* Get the parent of the port */
    np = of_get_next_parent(np);

Alternatively, perhaps to_of_node() should increment the refcount and
call of_node_get()? Oh, there's (static) of_fwnode_get(), too.

Is drivers/iommu/iommu.c:iommu_fwspec_init() really the only place outside
drivers/of/property.c that calls of_node_get() on a node obtained by
to_of_node()?
