Re: [PATCH 4/8] net: bcmgenet: use platform_device_set_fwnode()

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The static function `bcmgenet_mii_of_find_mdio()` becomes completely unreferenced and triggers a compiler warning (`-Wunused-function`) when `CONFIG_OF` is disabled.

net: bcmgenet: use platform_device_set_fwnode()

This patch changes dynamically allocated platform devices to use the
higher-level platform_device_set_fwnode() rather than the OF-specific
platform_device_set_of_node().

[Severity: Low]
Will this cause a -Wunused-function warning for bcmgenet_mii_of_find_mdio()
when CONFIG_OF is disabled?

When CONFIG_OF is not set, include/linux/of.h defines of_fwnode_handle(node)
as just NULL. Because the macro discards its argument during preprocessing,
the call to bcmgenet_mii_of_find_mdio() is completely dropped, leaving the
static function unreferenced in this configuration.

Should bcmgenet_mii_of_find_mdio() be marked with __maybe_unused to prevent
build failures on setups using -Werror?
