Indeed, it should be the other way. But since this function is generic
and uses only fwnode API I guessed it would be more convenient to
define it in the fwnode generic part and use it for specific
implementation. I could have modified device_get_match_data to call it
if there was no .device_get_match_data operation like this:

const void *device_get_match_data(struct device *dev)
{
	if (!fwnode_has_op(fwnode, device_get_match_data)
		return fwnode_get_match_data(dev);
	return fwnode_call_ptr_op(dev_fwnode(dev),device_get_match_data, dev);
}

But I thought it was more convenient to do it by setting the
.device_get_match_data field of software_node operations.
