[PATCH 1/2] software node: implement software_node_unregister()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes it is better to unregister individual nodes instead of trying
to do them all at once with software_node_unregister_nodes(), so create
software_node_unregister() so that you can unregister them one at a
time.

This is especially important when creating nodes in a hierarchy, with
parent -> children representations.  Children always need to be removed
before a parent is, as the swnode logic assumes this is going to be the
case.

Fix up the lib/test_printf.c fwnode_pointer() test which to use this new
function as it had the problem of tearing things down in the backwards
order.

Fixes: f1ce39df508d ("lib/test_printf: Add tests for %pfw printk modifier")
