When ever device properties are supplied for a sub device, a software node
(fwnode) is actually created and then associated with that device. By allowing
the drivers to supply the complete software node group instead of just the
properties in it, the drivers can take advantage of the other features the
software nodes have on top of supplying the device properties.

I'm not sure a change to the API is justified presently (same does go
for 'properties' really, but as it was only a couple of lines, it
didn't seem too intrusive).

My recommendation is to handle this in-house (i.e. locally in-driver)
for now.  When (if) more users adopt the practice, then we should
consider to draw down on line numbers and repetition and make it part
of the API.

This is better and comprehensive API, but I heard you.

I think you understand that this is not gonna work (we need to attach fwnode
to the child device before it's registration.

I briefly looked at the current state of affairs and found that properties are
used only for MFD LPSS driver. Would the conversion of that driver to swnodes
work for you?

Note, the long prospective is to get rid of platform_add_properties() API
completely.

That's a shame.  Do you plan on replacing it with something else?

MFD tends to only interact with the platform_device API, and even
platform_device_add_properties() doesn't get involved in the nitty
gritty of fwnodes.  Instead it acts as a pass-through straight to
device_add_properties() which is where the magic happens.

For this to be acceptable you would need to add support into
platform_device i.e. platform_device_add_property_group() or some
such.  I really do not want the MFD API to have knowledge about
regarding the particulars i.e. software node registration, secondary
fwnodes and the like.
