The need to know the number of array elements in a property is
a common pattern. To prevent duplication of open-coded implementations
add a helper static function that also centralises strict sanity
checking and DTB format details, as well as a set of wrapper functions
for u8, u16, u32 and u64.

Looks good. Do you plan to convert some users to use this?
I'll take that as an acked-by. Merged, thanks.
before you taking this patch, I was planning on simply sending this as part of 
my rockchip-smp series - as I'm currently the only user of it :-) .

This going through your tree is most likely the better way, but now I need it 
to somehow make its way into arm-soc too ... I guess some sort of stable 
branch arm-soc could pull?
Nah, I'll drop it from my tree. Add my acked-by and merge it via
arm-soc.
