This series removes accesses to the device `fwnode` to iterate over its
own child nodes. Using the `device_for_each_child_node` macro provides
direct access to the device child nodes, and given that in all cases
they are only required within the loop, the scoped variant of the macro
can be used.

It has been stated in previous discussions [1] that `device_for_each_*`
should be used to access device child nodes, removing the need to access
its internal fwnode, and restricting `fwnode_for_each_*` to traversing
subnodes when required.

Note that `device_for_each_*` implies availability, which means that
after this conversion, unavailable nodes will not be accessible within
the loop. The affected drivers does not seem to have any reason to
iterate over unavailable nodes, though. But if someone has a case where
the affected drivers might require accessing unavailable nodes, please
let me know.
