Since "/firmware" does not have its own "compatible" property as it's
just collection of nodes representing firmware interface, it's sub-nodes
are not populated during system initialization.

Currently different firmware drivers search the /firmware/ node and
populate the sub-node devices selectively. Instead we can populate
the /firmware/ node during init to avoid more drivers continuing to
populate the devices selectively.

This patch adds initcall to achieve the same.

Why do you have both the above 2 paragraphs and an SPDX tag? I'd drop
the above (unless your lawyers told you otherwise).

I'd prefer this is added to of_platform_default_populate_init() and
handled like /reserved-memory.

But be aware that Bjorn is reworking this function[1].

This matches any node named firmware. I see a few instances like RPi
that are not /firmware (though RPi we can move probably).
of_find_node_by_path would be safer.

You perhaps missed a few instances. "amlogic,meson-gxbb-sm" looks like
it could be converted to a driver. "tlm,trusted-foundations" appears
to be needed early for bringing up cores, so it probably can't change.
They don't have to be converted as part of this series though.

I thought so initially but then just copied from existing file
(drivers/base/arch_topology.c in this case)

Yes that was my other option, wanted to check in the cover letter but
forgot.

OK, thanks for the pointers.

Indeed, was looking for the term "firmware" only :(, will add.

 "tlm,trusted-foundations" appears

That was my intially understand too when I looked at the way probe was
handled, but then I see it's module_init, so I went ahead with this change.
