I don't understand the refcounting in this function.  Should we call
fwnode_handle_put(source->fwnode); before setting this to NULL?

I don't understand why we save source->fwnode but drop the refcount on
the success path.  My instinct says that it should be a source_fwnode
local stack variable instead.  (But again, I've only glanced at this
code so I could be wrong).
