This is fine with me, but please update the subject line and commit
log something like this:

  PCI: Convert to device_create_managed_software_node()

  In quirk_huawei_pcie_sva(), use device_create_managed_software_node()
  instead of device_add_properties() to set the "dma-can-stall"
  property.

  This resolves a software node lifetime issue (see 151f6ff78cdf
  ("software node: Provide replacement for device_add_properties()"))
  and paves the way for removing device_add_properties() completely.

Actually, 8304a3a199ee was merged during the v5.15 merge window, so if
this does in fact fix a lifetime issue, I can merge this before
v5.15-final.

I know *this* quirk applies to AMBA devices, and I assume they cannot
be removed, so there's no actual lifetime problem in this particular
case, but in general it looks like a problem for PCI devices.
