When a software-node gets added to a device which already has another fwnode as primary node it will become the secondary fwnode for that device.
Currently if a software-node with GPIO properties ends up as the secondary fwnode then gpiod_find_by_fwnode() will fail to find the GPIOs.
Add a check to gpiod_find_by_fwnode() to try a software-node lookup on the secondary fwnode if the GPIO was not found in the primary fwnode.
