[PATCH RFC] driver core: Ensure DT devices always have fwnode set

[Mark Brown]

Currently the fwnode API and things that rely on it like fw_devlink will
not reliably work for devices created from DT since each subsystem that
creates devices must individually set dev->fwnode in addition to setting
dev->of_node, currently a number of subsystems don't do so. Ensure that
this can't get missed by setting fwnode from of_node if it's not
previously been set by the subsystem.

*Very* minimally tested.
