This series is a result of the discussion in [1]. Rob suggested to convert the index parameter to unsigned int and drop the check for negative values and make them static inline. It will also introduce a new variant of the function, although it is unused for now. They will be needed when nvmem phandles are modified to take additional arguments and need to retain backwards compatibility with older device trees.
