As a general observation, It looks like a lot of people need to know how
many array elements a property might hold (for datastructure
allocation), and are open-coding element counting.

I think it would be nice if we had a helper function to count how many
elements a property can hold (of_property_count_u32_elems?) that would
centralise strict sanity checking (e.g. prop->len % elem_size == 0) and
DTB format details (so you don't have to care about endianness, and it
becomes possible to add DTB metadata later and get runtime type
checking).

That can all come later and shouldn't block this patch.

It feels a little odd to have to have to care about the format of the
dtb and do endianness conversion here. It would be nice to limit the
scope of DTB format details to the of_ helper functions.

Could you use of_property_read_u32_index here instead please?

Otherwise this looks fine to me.

Cheers,
Mark.
