The structure now looks a lot better to me. A few minor things below.

I like 'i' for for loops, but less so for function params. Perhaps
'index' instead like of_parse_phandle_with_args.

Why the '!i' test?

Using 'i' is a little odd. Perhaps a 'matched' bool would be easier to read.

Just return here. No point in continuing as 'done' is never set back to true.
