I'll happily take the whole series if you like, though I've not
reviewed it all yet.

At least for #*-cells, we should be able to check most in dtc. When we
find common properties, we can check the node for the phandle has a
cells property. That would also check that the property is in fact a
phandle.

For *-names, we might be able to do a generic check in dtc for the
corresponding property being present when we find a -names property.
Though I suspect we're not consistent enough when/where we use plural.
