Accessing device properties is currently done via methods on `Device` itself, using bindings to device_property_* functions. This is sufficient for the existing method property_present. However, it's not sufficient for other device properties we want to access. For example, iterating over child nodes of a device will yield a fwnode_handle. That's not a device, so it wouldn't be possible to read the properties of that child node. Thus, we need an abstraction over fwnode_handle and methods for reading its properties. Add a struct FwNode which abstracts over the C struct fwnode_handle. Implement its reference counting analogous to other Rust abstractions over reference-counted C structs. Subsequent patches will add functionality to access FwNode and read properties with it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
