The commit 3a2dbc510c43 ("driver core: fw_devlink: Don't purge child fwnode's consumer links") introduces the possibility to use the supplier's parent device instead of the supplier itself. In that case the supplier fwnode used is not updated and is no more consistent with the supplier device used.
Update the fwnode used to be consistent with the supplier device used.

Nack. It's easier to debug when you know what supplier you were pointing to in DT that triggered the creation of the device link. The parent could be several levels up and multiple supplier links might be skipped for various reasons. If they all printed the parent's fwnode, it'll be confusing to debug.
In fact, I will remove the check if(!sup_handle) in the next iteration.
Indeed, sup_handle cannot be NULL. sup_dev is retrieved from fwnode_get_next_parent_dev() or get_dev_from_fwnode(). In both cases, if sup_dev is valid, sup_dev->fwnode is valid too. So, the check and the dev_dbg() call make no sense.
Best regards, Hervé
