While I am on vacation, I have a brief look at the report and fix and the
discussion. There are several ongoing tasks that may collide with this:

- the desire to split device.h, so we have something like device/fwnode.h with
all related APIs listed there

- taking these, it might be good to have device_set_used_node() as a combination
of the above and also device_is_node_used() to be used in its solely user of pin
control core

- the proper understanding of this flag to begin with and how it may be related
to ACPI-based platforms (or non-DT in general)

- with that done, it might be a room to see if the flag actually should be
somewhere in fwnode structure or elsewhere

- or we can revisit the whole design and see if we can get rid of the flag
