At the moment software nodes can only reference other software nodes. This is a limitation for devices created, for instance, on the auxiliary bus with a dynamic software node attached which cannot reference devices the firmware node of which is "real" (as an OF node or otherwise). Make it possible for a software node to reference all firmware nodes in addition to static software nodes. To that end: add a second pointer to struct software_node_ref_args of type struct fwnode_handle. The core swnode code will first check the swnode pointer and if it's NULL, it will assume the fwnode pointer should be set. Software node graphs remain the same, as in: the remote endpoints still have to be software nodes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
