A few APIs that belong specifically to the fw_devlink APIs
- are exposed to others without need
- prevents device property code to be cleaned up in the future

Resolve this mess by moving fw_devlink code to where it belongs
and hide from others.

Fixes: b5d3e2fbcb10 ("device property: Add fwnode_is_ancestor_of() and fwnode_get_next_parent_dev()")
Fixes: 372a67c0c5ef ("driver core: Add fwnode_to_dev() to look up device from fwnode")

When devlink was added it made a few fields in struct fwnode_handle.
These fields have no common grounds with device properties. In particular
struct device pointer is solely for devlinks and shouldn't be used with
them. Hence this patch. TL;DR: they semantically do _not_ belong to
the device property APIs.

But fwnode_is_ancestor_of() uses none of those new fields and seems
like a very reasonable API to provide. I understand if you want to
make the "device link only" argument for fwnode_get_next_parent_dev().

We have plenty of APIs in .h files (not the same as export to modules)
-- that have only 1 user. And even some with no users. You don't move
a string function out of lib/string.c just because there's only one
user of that function. We put functions in C files that make sense.

I think Fixes is a bit of an overkill. It's not a bug. Fixes get
propagated to LTS. This is certainly not LTS worthy. I'm not going to
NACK or push back on this patch for these reasons, but just letting
you know that you come off as unreasonably grumpy when you do these
things even for fwnode_is_ancestor_of() :)

Nobody is using that except devlink. That API can be and should be hidden
(we do not add APIs without users). On itself it's useless.

You understand that this is a weak argument, right? There are generic
functions, there are more specific ones. Here we are talking about niche
APIs without (other / new) users for all this time!

Now about generic one (as string.h is a bad example here), yes we do move
functions from the headers out if we have only one static user. We even target
killing some generic functions (strlcpy() is one and strlcat() is rumored to
follow same destiny.

I can drop Fixes it won't affect much as as I said there is no (other) user for
it anyway for all these years.

TL;DR: I will drop Fixes for the next version and that's it. I'm not okay of
leaving functions in the header and be exported just for the sake of exporting.
