To use the firmware property functions, I need a DT node pointer.
Since Device Tree is dynamic now, should I fetch the firmware node
each time, or should I do that in probe and store the node pointer?

Device Tree:
         firmware: firmware {
             compatible = "raspberrypi,firmware";
         };

         thermal {
             compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-thermal";
             firmware = <&firmware>;
         };

Rewritten (not tested) function from downstream bcm2835-thermal driver:

static int bcm2835_get_temp_or_max(struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_dev,
                                    unsigned long *temp, unsigned tag_id)
{
     struct device *dev = <get device somehow>;
     struct device_node *np;
     struct {
         u32 id;
         u32 val;
     } tag_buf;

     np = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "firmware", 0);
     if (!np)
         return -EINVAL;

     ret = rpi_firmware_property(np, tag_id, &tag_buf, sizeof(tag_buf));
     if (ret)
         return ret;

     *temp = val;

     return 0;
}
