agree.

that may involve ACPI and not sure if there are risk.

the commit you mentioned above have below commit message:

"The semantics is slightly different: the cells property is ignored on
ACPI as the number of arguments can be explicitly obtained from the
firmware interface"

let me do more investigation (^^).

perhaps, various firmware(DT|APCI|SWNODE...) may use
NR_FWNODE_REFERENCE_ARGS instead defining a MACRO such as
MAX_PHANDLE_ARGS separately.
