driver core: platform: amend the API contract for fwnode setters
Calling platform_device_set_fwnode() (and by extension: platform_device_set_of_node()) of platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() for a dynamically allocated platform device whose primary firmware node is already assigned and is a software node leads to a resource leak as we never perform the corresponding call to software_node_notify_remove(). As there are currently no users for this special case - just disallow it and warn loudly if it ever happens.
