Add helper functions to the DPLL core to retrieve a DPLL pin's firmware node handle based on the "dpll-pins" and "dpll-pin-names" properties. * `fwnode_dpll_pin_node_get()`: matches the given name against the "dpll-pin-names" property to find the correct index, then retrieves the reference from "dpll-pins". * `device_dpll_pin_node_get()`: a wrapper around the fwnode helper for convenience when using a `struct device`. These helpers simplify the process for consumer drivers (such as Ethernet controllers or PHYs) to look up their associated DPLL pins defined in the DT or ACPI, which can then be passed to the DPLL subsystem to acquire the pin object.

Neither updated property.c.And if the cells are not required? I mean that dpll-names only specifies array of phandles without parameters... e.g. dpll-pin-names = "abc", "def"; dpll-pins = <&dpll_pin_abc>, <&dpll_pin_def>; Should '#dpll-pin-cells' be defined as constantly equal to 0?I don't understand how can you guarantee for every possible future device to have always cells=0. If that's the case then indeed you do not need cells, but this needs explanation. You are designing now entire ABI, so you must design it fully, not just "works for me now".
Get it, you are right... Theoretically is possible that number of cells will be > 0. Will add '#dpll-pin-cells' Thanks, Ivan
