On DT based system, if a fwnode is set it is an of_node.
On ACPI, if a fwnode is set is is an acpi_node.
The core PCI, when it successfully creates the DT node for a device
(CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES) set the of_node of this device.
So we can have a device with:
- fwnode from ACPI
- of_node from core PCI creation
This driver needs the of_node to load the overlay.
Even if the core PCI cannot create a DT node for the PCI device right
now, I don't expect this LAN855x PCI driver updated when the core PCI
is able to create this PCI device DT node.

That's my understanding.
Right now, the internal LAN966x DMA controller is not used but it will be
used in a near future.

Right, I wait for Bjorn reply before changing anything.
