To follow-up, I have this problem right now with pinctrl_dt_to_map(). 
The pinctrl-%d property in the device tree is an array of phandles.  The 
array can be any size, and pinctrl_dt_to_map() queries the size of the 
property to determine how many phandles there are.  It iterates over all 
of them.  How do I support that with device_property_read_u32_array()? 
That function expects to be told how many phandles there are, and it 
doesn't even tell me if there are more or fewer than the number I've given.
