[PATCH v3] mfd: core: Preserve OF node when ACPI handle is present

From: Brian Mak

Date: Wed Mar 11 2026 - 15:45:01 EST


Switch device_set_node to set_primary_fwnode, so that the ACPI fwnode
does not overwrite the of_node with NULL.

This allows MFD children with both OF nodes and ACPI handles to have OF
nodes again.

Fixes: 51e3b257099d ("mfd: core: Make use of device_set_node()")

v3: Changed FIXME to NOTE, as this will not be addressed in the near
future.

v2: Use open-coded logic for clarity and add FIXME.
