Please add some data here as to what speed up we see.

Or any tree that doesn't match your assumptions.

I fail to see how setting max_phandle to number of nodes helps you
here. Either just bail out or mask the phandle values so this works
with any contiguous range.
Please capture somewhere what the assumptions are for the cache to
work (i.e. phandles were allocated contiguously from 0).
