This helper will register a software node and then assign
it to device at the same time. The function will also make
sure that the device can't have more than one software node.

I like this change. One comment below, but for what it's worth:

I wonder if this also ought to set dev_fwnode(dev)->secondary back to
ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)?
We can't do that here unfortunately. Other places still have a
reference to the swnode at this point and they may still need to
access it using the dev_fwnode(dev)->secondary pointer.
