This seems messy.  It is a function with a DT specific name that's
matching ACPI stuff and the fwnode API isn't hiding anything for us
which suggests this isn't something that's expected to work
transparently.  At least the naming needs to be corrected, and if this
*is* supposed to be something we do in ACPI I'd expect the handling to
be pushed into the fwnode API rather than open coded in a driver - at
the minute I'm unsure if this is messy because it's a bad idea to do
this at all or if it's just the naming and so on.

Surely we should be able to check if there's firmware data without
enumerating every possible firmware type?
