Hi Arnd,

The fsl-mc-bus driver in staging contains a copy of the standard
'ranges' property parsing algorithm with a hack to treat a missing

To avoid the warnings, I'm simplifying the argument handling to pass
the number of valid ranges in the property as the function return code
rather than passing it by reference. With this change, gcc can see that
we don't evaluate the cell numbers for an missing ranges property.

Looks good to me, i've tested it and did not see any issues, so here's an:
