Hi all,

This set adds functionality into the device property API (counting a
node's parents as well as obtaining its name) in order to support printing
fwnode names using a new conversion specifier "%pfw". The names that are
produced are equivalent to its OF counterpart "%pOF" on OF systems for the
two supported modifiers ("f" and "P").

Printing a node's name is something that's been available on OF for a long
time and if something is converted to device property API (such as the
V4L2 fwnode framework) it always got removed of a nice feature that was
sometimes essential in debugging. With this set, that no longer is the
case.

Note: the set now depends on 2d44d165e939 ("scsi: lpfc: Convert existing
%pf users to %ps") that is expected from the linux-scsi tree. It is
OK, so I will be expecting a refresh of the series when the above
commit appears in the mainline.

Cheers,
Rafael
