[ Upstream commit 002752af7b ]
Some of the fwnode APIs might return an error pointer instead of NULL
or valid fwnode handle. The result of such API call may be considered
optional and hence the test for it is usually done in a form of
fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(...);
if (IS_ERR(fwnode))
...error handling...
Nevertheless the resulting fwnode may have bumped the reference count
and hence caller of the above API is obliged to call fwnode_handle_put().
Since fwnode may be not valid either as NULL or error pointer the check
has to be performed there. This approach uglifies the code and adds
a point of making a mistake, i.e. forgetting about error point case.
To prevent this, allow an error pointer to be passed to the fwnode APIs.
