What prevents us from removing this?

The rule of thumb is avoid dereferencing fwnode from struct device. So
dev_fwnode(), but here it would be achieved by device_get_named_child_node().

Shouldn't _of suffix be replaced by, let's say, _fw?

Ditto.

dev_fwnode() or corresponding device_property_ API.

device_set_node()
