This is a good time to talk about commit text. Again, the patch looks
fine, but it helps *a lot* if you give me some details about how you
constructed the patch and tested it.

What architectures did you build? What defconfigs did you use? Did you look
at all the users, or can you say the users should all be good?

It also always helps to tell my *why* you made a change.

Otherwise you leave all the leg work up to me or another maintainer.
We've got a lot of work. Anything you can do to make that easier makes
us less grumpy. :-)

I'll try to apply the patch (I've actually already merged another one
that does of_parse_phandle, but not of_parse_phandle_with_args, so I'll
need to resolve the conflict)
