This series switches from the device_for_each_child_node() macro to its
scoped variant. This makes the code more robust if new early exits are
added to the loops, because there is no need for explicit calls to
fwnode_handle_put(), which also simplifies existing code.

The non-scoped macros to walk over nodes turn error-prone as soon as
the loop contains early exits (break, goto, return), and patches to
fix them show up regularly, sometimes due to new error paths in an
existing loop [1].

Note that the child node is now declared in the macro, and therefore the
explicit declaration is no longer required.

The general functionality should not be affected by this modification.
If functional changes are found, please report them back as errors.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase onto net-next.
- Fix commit messages (incomplete path, missing net-next prefix).
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240930-net-device_for_each_child_node_scoped-v1-0-bbdd7f9fd649@gmail.com (local)
Much better.

Just watch out for the 24 hour rule between reposts. Reposting too
fast results in wasted time. Reviewers see you v1 and give comments on
it without knowing there is a v2 which might have the issues
fixed. And you might ignore those late comments on v1 ...

I will wait a day or two to review the actual patches, to give others
time to take a look.

Thanks again, the commit messages were so broken that I thought the
series would not be taken into account, especially after your reply. But
you are right, it could confuse reviewers and we are definitely not in a
hurry :)
