So RPi 4 was never creating a device links between serdev devices and
their consumers. The error message was just a new one I added and we
are noticing and catching the fact that serdev wasn't setting fwnode
for a device.

I'm also not sure if I can say this commit "Fixes" an issue in serdev
core because when serdev core was written, fw_devlink wasn't a thing.
Once I add Fixes, people will start pulling this into stable
branches/other trees where I don't think this should be pulled into
older stable branches.
