What prevents us from removing this?
I left it to satisfy possible issues with backward compatibility - I
migrated mv88e6xxx, other DSA drivers still rely on of_* and may use
this field.
If it is so, it's a way to get into troubles of desynchronized dn and fwnode.
Agreed, we can take it in baby steps if you prefer, but ultimately we 
should move to using a fwnode reference rather than a device_node 
reference and if there are drivers needing the device_node we can always 
extract it from the fwnode.
