[PATCH 0/6] of: Implement iterator for phandles

Hi,

here is an implementation of the iterator over phandles
concept which Rob Herring suggested to me some time ago. My
approach is a little bit different from what the diff showed
back then, but it gets rid of the allocation and 'struct
'struct of_phandle_args' misuse.

I also converted the arm-smmu driver to make use of the
iterator. The resulting kernel boots on my AMD Seattle
system and fixes the warning triggered there. The patches
now also pass all dt-unittests in my kvm environment.

Please review. Patches are based on v4.5.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Changes since RFC post:

* Reordered members of 'struct of_phandle_iterator' and did
  some renaming

* Removed index counting from the iterator

* Split up iterator implementation into multiple patches

* Fixed the code to survive all dt-unittests, tested with each
  patch in this series

* Re-added and updated some comments which got lost during the
  conversion.

* Added of_for_each_phandle macro for easier handling

* Moved the counting special-case from __of_parse_phandle_with_args
  directly to of_count_phandle_with_args for code
  simplification

* Removed some iterator helper functions

* Formatting and style changes
