Although for just counting the number of phandles each with n arguments 
that a property contains, isn't that simply a case of dividing the 
property length by n + 1? The phandles themselves will be validated by 
any subsequent of_parse_phandle*() call anyway, so there doesn't seem 
much point in doing more work then necessary here.

Case in point - if it's OK to do exactly that for n == 0, then clearly 
we're *aren't* fussed about validating anything, so the n > 0 code below 
is nothing more than a massively expensive way to check for a nonzero 
remainder :/
