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.

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. -- heikki
