Conceptually, I prefer your first version. phandles are special and
there's little reason to expose them except to generate a dts or dtb
from /proc/device-tree. We could still generate the phandle file in
that case, but I don't know if special casing phandle is worth it.

Some of these can move into the if statement. That will save some
stack space on recursion (or maybe the compiler is smart enough).

There is no reason to support "linux,phandle" for overlays. That is
legacy (pre ePAPR) which predates any overlays by a long time.
Also, dtc still defaults to generating both phandle and linux,phandle
properties which maybe we should switch off now. If anything, we're
wasting a bit of memory storing both. I think we should only store
"phandle" and convert any cases of only a "linux,phandle" property to
"phandle".
