[PATCH v6 3/6] misc: fw_loader: implement generic get_fw_loader_from_node()

Implement a generic function to get a FW loader dev from a node.

There is currently only get_fs_loader() but that is limited to chosen
node and is limited only to FS loader.

Introduce get_fw_loader_from_node() that will parse the
"firmware-loader" from a specified node and will search and probe a
matching FW loader device, if found.
