I've thought about that before, but I'm not there yet. Maybe once my
remaining refactors and TODOs are done, it'd be a good time to revisit
this question.
But I don't think it should be done for the reason of forward
declaration as we'd just end up moving these into base.h and we can do
that even today.

That'd make it >80 cols. I'm going to leave it as is.

Thanks. Will fix in v3.

I'll leave it as-is for now. I see dev->fwnode vs dev_fwnode() don't
always give the same results. I need to re-examine other places I use
dev->fwnode in fw_devlink code before I start using that function. But
in general it seems like a good idea. I'll add this to my TODOs.

I like the dev->fwnode->dev == dev check. It makes it super clear that
I'm checking "The device's fwnode points back to the device". If I
just use fwnode->dev == dev, then one will have to go back and read
what fwnode is set to, etc. Also, when reading all these function
calls it's easier to see that I'm working on the dev's fwnode (where
dev is the device that was just bound to a driver) instead of some
other fwnode.
So I find it more readable as is and the compiler would optimize it
anyway. If you feel strongly about this, I can change to use fwnode
instead of dev->fwnode.
Thanks,
Saravana
