That commit message doesn't seem to match the patch (which doesn't
modify __of_parse_phandle_with_args).

Rather, now that __of_parse_phandle_with_args can handle parsing with a
fixed number of argument cells, it's possible to write of_parse_phandle
in terms of it.

What's the overhead over the old of_parse_phandle? It looks like this is
going to do a lot of pointless work beyond what it already does --
parsing each prior entry in the list, and for each prior entry walking
the tree in of_find_node_by_phandle. Maybe we don't use long enough
phandle lists anywhere for that to be noticeable.

Thanks,
Mark.
