You suggested this:

"Instead you might consider to replace

	parent = fwnode;

by

	parent = fwnode_handle_get(fwnode);"


It has compile warning:
drivers/base/property.c: In function ‘fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint’:
drivers/base/property.c:1004:30: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘fwnode_handle_get’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
    parent = fwnode_handle_get(fwnode);
