Functionally fwnode_property_read_string_array() should match
of_property_read_string_array() and work as a drop-in substitute for the
latter. of_property_read_string_array() returns the number of strings read
if the target string pointer array is non-NULL. Make
fwnode_property_read_string_array() do the same.

This patch replaces v1 3/3 patch in this set.

Instead of changing the return value of fwnode / device property API
string array access on OF, change the behaviour on pset and ACPI instead.
This makes them to return the number of strings read on success.

I can merge this with patch 2/3 which is changing the same part of the
file, however I'm sending this separately at least for now as I think it's
easier to review this way, rather than making a bugfix and a change of the
behaviour in the same patch.

Regards,
Sakari

Why not change acpi_node_prop_read() instead? This way you don't need to
add the extra code dealing with the return value here.

Ditto for the pset counterpart.

There are a few other users of acpi_node_prop_read() albeit there are not too many of them. acpi_node_prop_read() is just calling acpi_dev_prop_read() which is public but apparently has no users. I think changing that would be quite feasible, I'll take that into account in the next version. Same for pset.
