Or maybe better

	if (!of_property_read_u32(np, "bus-width", &bus_width))

Ignoring an error and depending on bus_width==0 to determine if the property
was provided seems odd, especially since it would "hide" if the bus-width
property is set to 0. In the original code, this would be detected as error.
