[PATCH 1/1] of: Make return types of to_of_node and of_fwnode_handle macros consistent

to_of_node() macro checks whether the fwnode_handle passed to it is not an
OF node, and if so, returns NULL in order to be NULL-safe. Otherwise it
returns the pointer to the OF node which the fwnode_handle contains.

The problem with returning NULL is that its type was void *, which
sometimes matters. Explicitly return struct device_node * instead.

Make a similar change to of_fwnode_handle() as well.

Fixes: d20dc1493db4 ("of: Support const and non-const use for to_of_node()")
Fixes: debd3a3b27c7 ("of: Make of_fwnode_handle() safer")

Hi Mauro,

Could you check whether this addresses the smatch issue with the xilinx
driver?

Thanks.
