The tests must generate sw nodes dynamically, not a fixed const struct.
I wanted to avoid directly accessing the internals of the SW node
structures. Use only the macros.

I can rewrite this code to open-code the construction of the
software_node_ref_args. Or I can wait a while in case anyone has a
suggested fix for the macros.

Its seems reasonable that you should be able to create software nodes
dynamically. A "real" use of these might need to construct the data from
some other data that is not known at runtime (for example, where the
ACPI provides some information but not the necessary info).
