Yes, it's a little more complex. But I had to change it in order to be able to
start parsing down from an arbitrary device node, which is needed for the unit
tests.

for_each_of_allnodes() and friends will traverse the whole tree, regardless of
the starting point. I couldn't find a similar function that would just iterate
over a subsection of the tree, so I went with this recursive approach.
