I have no problem with putting the firmware node as a child of the QE node and skipping the phandle property, but only as long as there's only one QE node.  Would you agree that this is bad:

qe1: qe@e0080000 {
        compatible = "fsl,qe";
        qefw: fsl,qe_firmware {
                compatible="fsl,qe-firmware";
                fsl,firmware = /bininc/("firmware-blob.bin");
                fsl,qe-firmware-eccr = <0x00000000 0x00001230>;
        }
        ...
}

qe2: qe@e0090000 {
        compatible = "fsl,qe";
	fsl,firmware-phandle = <&qefw>;
        ...
}
