I'd like to see a description of the new API in English in the changelog.

Please add a comment describing this structure.  In particular, what it is
supposed to be used for and how it is supposed to be used.

I'd rather call this "list_node" or something like that.

We're modifying a global list here.  Any locking needed?  RCU?  Whatever?

This is a blatant OF-ism.  We need to think about a generic way to express that.

So this is a node in the list of dependencies, right?

I'd call that field "list_node", then.

And fwnode is a firmware node that the owner of the list depends on, right?
