An of_node can be set to a device using device_set_node().
This function cannot prevent any of_node and/or fwnode overwrites.

When adding an of_node on an already present device, the following
operations need to be done:
- Attach the of_node if no of_node were already attached
- Attach the of_node as a fwnode if no fwnode were already attached

This is the purpose of device_add_of_node().
device_remove_of_node() reverts the operations done by
device_add_of_node().

Why is this void?

Why not return an error too?  Otherwise you can never know if this
worked or not.
