Except:

1. You don't have a dev->fwnode pointer setup.
2. Using &dev->of_node->fwnode is really going underneath the covers.

I've pointed this problem out several times with the fwnode code, which
seems to be a half-baked and incomplete design when it comes to DT.

I'd suggest using of_get_named_gpio_flags() et.al. and converting the
resulting gpio number to a gpio descriptor - or trying to push DT and
fwnode people to initialise dev->fwnode so that a proper transition to
fwnode for DT can be made.
