[PATCH 1/2] of: add of_property_count_phandles

[Mark Rutland]

Though of_parse_phandle handles lists of phandles, and takes an index
parameter, there is no standard way of discovering how many phandles are
present on a node. This patch adds a function to count how many phandles
are in a phandle list.
