[RFC PATCH] of/base: add helper of_property_read_u32_array_index

[zhangfei]

Here is one question, is there any existing API could get nth array from 
arrays table?

For example:
		tune-table =
                         <26000000 1 1 3 3 13000000>,
                         <360000000 6 3 3 1 50000000>,
                         <0 0 0 0 0 0>,
                         <0 0 0 0 0 0>,
                         <26000000 1 1 3 3 13000000>,
                         <360000000 6 3 3 1 50000000>,
                         <0 0 0 0 0 0>,
                         <720000000 6 4 8 4 100000000>;

Can we get nth array with index?
Like:
u32 table[6];
ret = of_property_read_u32_array_index(np, "tune-table",
                                         table, 6, index);

Thanks
