It's a failure in the existing kernel DT data structures. We need a hash
lookup for the phandles to eliminate the search entirely. Then you'd be
able to allocated new phandles on the fly easily and resolve phandles
without searching the whole tree (which has always been horrible).

That said, I'd like to punt on the whole phandle resolution thing. The
DT overlay support can be merged without the phandle resolution support
if the core rejects any overlays with phandle collisions.
