This has only the phandle. This is a pair in the sense of (phandle, msi-specifier). msi_a doesn't have a #msi-cells, so its msi-specifier is of size 0. In that case, the pair is (phandle, empty-set). You could also have something like: msi_d: msi-controller@d { #msi-cells = <2>; }; dev@f { msi-parent = <&msi_d 0x1 0x2>; }; and msi-parent in this case would still be a pair, with an msi-specifier of size 2.
