[PATCH v4] mfd: core: Preserve OF node when ACPI handle is present

[PATCH v4] mfd: core: Preserve OF node when ACPI handle is present

[Brian Mak]

Switch device_set_node to set_primary_fwnode, so that the ACPI fwnode
does not overwrite the of_node with NULL.

This allows MFD children with both OF nodes and ACPI handles to have OF
nodes again.

v4: Switched to use ?: operator.

v3: Changed FIXME to NOTE, as this will not be addressed in the near
future.

v2: Use open-coded logic for clarity and add FIXME.
