Yep, I meant how you point to it in the documentation, e.g.

  The user may call fwnode_irq_get_byname() with the firmware node and
name of the IRQ it wants to retrieve.

You see, there was a query from Rafael and I haven't seen an answer
yet. On top there is no such function for fwnode_irq_get() (I mean
device_irq_get() API). It would be harder to push without good
justification why one has the device_ counterpart and the other does
not. Easiest way, as I see it, is to drop it for now.
