It turns out this isn't needed; of_node_get() and of_find_property()
both handle a NULL np just fine. Still, I suppose this might not always
be true for arbitrary code that's in pinctrl_dt_to_map(), so perhaps we
should add this anyway.

I looked at this more, and the existing code is a lot more efficient;
of_parse_phandle() internally calls of_find_property() each time, which
this pinctrl code has already done. I'd rather just leave this as it is.
Are you OK with that?
