Doesn't to_of_node() confirm that the fwnode is a DT node? In other
words, isn't the "is_acpi_node()" entirely redundant?

So fwnode_find_pse_control() returns NULL on error.

This usage expects it to return an error-pointer.

Clearly, there is some disagreement about what fwnode_find_pse_control()
returns on error.
