Instead of castings, drop the const qualifier in the definition block.

But, the point is that this is a very tricky code and your commit message
lacks of analysis. Can you extend it and show that every case is covered
correctly?

Instead you might consider to replace

	parent = fwnode;

by

	parent = fwnode_handle_get(fwnode);

but please double check that each branch has proper reference counting.
