[PATCH 0/5] Refactoring finding CPU phandles in DT

This series refactors the way CPU IDs are retrieved from the device
tree.

Usually, there is a for loop that goes over every single CPU that can be
avoided. This also reduces the amount of NULL pointer checks in drivers.
I have abstracted away that loop and introduced a new function
(of_cpu_node_to_id) for this.

This patchset is a subset of [1], where I removed content and patches
relevant to hyper-threaded cores for DT. Based on the discussion, the
code refactor is still useful, hence this patchset.
