Add a new variant of the of_parse_phandle_with_args() which treats the
cells name as optional. If it's missing, it is assumed that the phandle
has no arguments.

Up until now, a nvmem node didn't have any arguments, so all the device
trees haven't any '#*-cells' property. But there is a need for an
additional argument for the phandle, for which we need a '#*-cells'
property. Therefore, we need to support nvmem nodes with and without
this property.

I'm not sure why we didn't do this from the start, but just make index 
unsigned and then this check is not needed.

With the above, just make this static inline. Bonus points if you want 
to do the same changes on the other variants.
