The need to know the number of array elements in a property is a common pattern. To prevent duplication of open-coded implementations add a helper function that also centralises strict sanity checking and DTB format details.

I've tested it with the sram-reserve change and it made the part of the determining the number elements a lot nicer :-) drivers/of/base.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/of.h | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 40 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/of/base.c b/drivers/of/base.c index f807d0e..0f40ea5 100644 --- a/drivers/of/base.c +++ b/drivers/of/base.c @@ -920,6 +920,38 @@ int of_property_read_u32_index(const struct device_node *np, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(of_property_read_u32_index); /** + * of_property_count_u32_elems - Count the number of u32 values in a property + * + * @np: device node from which the property value is to be read. + * @propname: name of the property to be searched. + * + * Search for a property in a device node and count the number of u32 elements + * in it.
