Very welcome! Thanks for reviewing.

You are correct. Next version of TM16XX driver patch series will use
fwnode_for_each_available_child_node_scoped()

>And this series adds a user for fwnode_for_each_child_node_scoped(); do you also have a user for fwnode_for_each_named_child_node_scoped()?
No, I haven't found an existing user that requires the scoped version. The only
usage I found of the non-scoped fwnode_for_each_named_child_node() is in
drivers/base/property.c in fwnode_get_named_child_node_count(), which doesn't
need to put the fwnode.
I included it for consistency since the header defines all three non-scoped
variants, but I understand the "no dead code" policy concern.
Would you prefer I drop the fwnode_for_each_named_child_node_scoped()
variant and submit a v4 with only the two variants that have real users?
