Can you add a line or two about *why* we should do this, e.g., is this
headed toward some goal? Is it a simplification that's 100%
equivalent (doesn't seem so, see below)?

Seems like there's an underlying long-term effort to unify things from
OF and ACPI, which seems like a good thing, but at the moment it's a
little confusing to follow. For instance pci_set_of_node() seems like
it ought to be sort of analogous to pci_set_acpi_fwnode(), but they
look nothing alike.

This doesn't seem 100% equivalent. If of_pci_find_child_device()
returns NULL, the previous code doesn't set dev->dev.fwnode, but the
new code does.
