Although I couldn't invent any struct to hold params and state here,
I'd like you to review the following interface is ok or not.

At first, I thought to refactor __of_parse_phandle_with_args() but
it's a bit highly optimized by Stephen and it looked a bit hard to
refactor without perf regressions. Instread, I introduced 2 new
functions "of_parse_{first,next}_phandle_with_args()" to parse
phandles.

If this interface is ok, I'll include this into the next v7 series.

From: Hiroshi Doyu <hdoyu at nvidia.com>

Iterating over a property containing a list of phandles with arguments
is a common operation for device drivers. This patch adds a new
of_property_for_each_phandle_with_args() macro to make the iteration
simpler.

Introduced "of_parse_{first,next}_phandle_with_args()", where "const
__be32 **list" is used to hold the next list to be processed as a
state pramameter, and both "of_parse_{first,next}_phandle_with_args()"
returns the remaining list in the number of cell(4 byte). If any error
happens, "list" is set NULL not to proceed the rest.

v6++:
Optimized to avoid O(n^2), suggested by Stephen Warren.
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2013-November/007066.html

v6+:
Use the description, which Grant Likely proposed, to be full enough
that a future reader can figure out why a patch was written.

v5:
New patch for v5.
