acpi_fwnode_get_reference_args(), the function implementing ACPI
support for fwnode_property_get_reference_args(), returns directly
error codes from __acpi_node_get_property_reference(). The latter
uses different error codes than the OF implementation. In particular,
the OF implementation uses -ENOENT to indicate that the property is
not found, a reference entry is empty and there are no more

fwnode_property_get_reference_args() so that they match with
of_parse_phandle_with_args().

Deletion of subdevice will remove device properties associated to parent
when they share the same firmware node after commit 478573c93a (driver
core: Don't leak secondary fwnode on device removal). This was observed
with a driver adding subdevice that driver wasn't able to read device
properties after rmmod/modprobe cycle.
Consider the lifecycle of it:
parent device registration
ACPI_COMPANION_SET()
device_add_properties()
pset_copy_set()
set_secondary_fwnode(dev, &p->fwnode)
device_add()
parent probe
read device properties
ACPI_COMPANION_SET(subdevice, ACPI_COMPANION(parent))
device_add(subdevice)
parent remove
device_del(subdevice)
device_remove_properties()
set_secondary_fwnode(dev, NULL);
pset_free()
Parent device will have its primary firmware node pointing to an ACPI
node and secondary firmware node point to device properties.
ACPI_COMPANION_SET() call in parent probe will set the subdevice's
firmware node to point to the same 'struct fwnode_handle' and the
associated secondary firmware node, i.e. the device properties as the
parent.
When subdevice is deleted in parent remove that will remove those
device properties and attempt to read device properties in next
parent probe call will fail.
Fix this by tracking the owner device of device properties and delete
them only when owner device is being deleted.

Instead of relying on the struct fwnode_handle type field, define
fwnode_operations structs for all separate types of fwnodes. To find out
the type, compare to the ops field to relevant ops structs.
This change has two benefits:
1. it avoids adding the type field to each and every instance of struct
fwnode_handle, thus saving memory and
2. makes the ops field the single factor that defines both the types of
the fwnode as well as defines the implementation of its operations,
decreasing the possibility of bugs when developing code dealing with
fwnode internals.

Make device_get_next_child_node() work with ACPI data-only subnodes
introduced previously.
Namely, replace acpi_get_next_child() with acpi_get_next_subnode()
that can handle (and return) child device objects as well as child
data-only subnodes of the given device and modify the ACPI part
of the GPIO subsystem to handle data-only subnodes returned by it.
To that end, introduce acpi_node_get_gpiod() taking a struct
fwnode_handle pointer as the first argument. That argument may
point to an ACPI device object as well as to a data-only subnode
and the function should do the right thing (ie. look for the matching
GPIO descriptor correctly) in either case.
Next, modify fwnode_get_named_gpiod() to use acpi_node_get_gpiod()
instead of acpi_get_gpiod_by_index() which automatically causes
devm_get_gpiod_from_child() to work with ACPI data-only subnodes
that may be returned by device_get_next_child_node() which in turn
is required by the users of that function (the gpio_keys_polled
and gpio-leds drivers).

in order to get the mac address. To check the return value, the variable
addr (which contain the buffer pass by the caller) will be re-used. This
