PCI: Convert to device_create_managed_software_node()
In quirk_huawei_pcie_sva(), device_add_properties() is used to inject additional device properties, but there is no device_remove_properties() call anywhere to remove those properties. The assumption is most likely that the device is never removed, and the properties therefore do not also never need to be removed. Even though it is unlikely that the device is ever removed in this case, it is safer to make sure that the properties are also removed if the device ever does get unregistered. To achieve this, instead of adding a separate quirk for the case of device removal where device_remove_properties() is called, using device_create_managed_software_node() instead of device_add_properties(). Both functions create a software node (a type of fwnode) that holds the device properties, which is then assigned to the device very much the same way. The difference between the two functions is, that device_create_managed_software_node() guarantees that the software node (together with the properties) is removed when the device is removed. The function device_add_property() does not guarantee that, so the properties added with it should always be removed with device_remove_properties().
