since this fixes an issue on Raspberry Pi 4, shouldn't this be mentioned
in the commit message and providing a Fixes tag?

So RPi 4 was never creating a device links between serdev devices and
their consumers. The error message was just a new one I added and we
are noticing and catching the fact that serdev wasn't setting fwnode
for a device.

I'm also not sure if I can say this commit "Fixes" an issue in serdev
core because when serdev core was written, fw_devlink wasn't a thing.
Once I add Fixes, people will start pulling this into stable
branches/other trees where I don't think this should be pulled into
older stable branches.

That is kind of the point of Fixes: tag, is not it? It is appropriate to list a commit that is not specific to serdev, but maybe a particular point into the fw_devlink history. Given this did not appear to have a functional impact, we could go without one.

i was under the impression that this issue breaks at least Bluetooth on Raspberry Pi 4 because the driver is never probed. I cannot see the success output in Florian's trace. Something like this:

I just want to make sure that 6.2 doesn't have a regression.

My configuration uses hci_uart as a module, and it would always load fine, but I suppose I can make sure that even built-in this works properly. Give me a day or two to test that.
