If we introduce a cells based API just for this case of one phandle it
may make sense to allow the cell id to be NULL and default to whatever
cell is there without a names property. We do something similar with
clks where a NULL connection id defaults to the first phandle in the
list. Then we can avoid having a new set of DT specific APIs here. Of
course, documentation should be updated to indicate that a NULL cell_id
means use index 0 with DT.
