According to of.h, of_property_read_u32, which in turn calls
of_property_read_u32_array, could fail with -ENODATA if there's no value
associated with the property. Should the case be handled?

You cut too much. This had:

	unsigned int tx_delay = 0;
	unsigned int rx_delay = 0;

at the start of the function.

of_property_read_u32_array() says:

 * @out_values: pointer to return value, modified only if return value is 0.

and of_property_read_u32() passes &tx_delay or &rx_delay to this. Thus,
if any error occurs, these will be zero. In other words, a missing
property is equivalent to setting these to zero, which is entirely
reasonable.

However, "unsigned int" _may_ be type equivalent to "u32", but really
these should be "u32" if of_property_read_u32_array() is used.
