Thanks Stefan and Florian! I'll wait to see the results.

But based on my mental model of fw_devlink I don't expect BT to be
broken without this patch. If a device doesn't have fwnode set, it's
effectively invisible to fw_devlink. That could only affect consumers
of the device and not the device itself.
