The usual pattern to allocate the necessary space for an array of properties is to count them first by calling: count = device_property_read_uXX_array(dev, propname, NULL, 0); if (count < 0) return count; Introduce helpers device_property_count_uXX() to count items by supplying hard coded last two parameters to device_property_readXX_array().
