Or, for more clarity:

  of_property_read_u32(np, "bus-width", &bus_width);
  if (bus_width)

If you choose this version (which I think is my preferred method, don't
forget to initialise 'bus_width' to zero.
Ignoring an error and depending on bus_width==0 to determine if the property
was provided seems odd, especially since it would "hide" if the bus-width
property is set to 0. In the original code, this would be detected as error.
I'm not sure what you mean.  If bus_width==0, then a problem has
occurred and we will not use the value.  If bus_width!=0 then we can
assume that it's been set and (as the comment describes) the value
will be checked for errors in regmap_init_mmio().
Your proposed code does not distinguish a missing property from "bus-width = <0>;".
It will silently ignore this case.
Okay, so what you're saying is, you'd prefer to throw and error
instead of using the default.  Fair point.  If this is an issue then
feel free to use either of the other two suggestions.
