Subject: [PATCH 3/3] of: base: add of_parse_phandle_with_optional_args()

Add a new variant of the of_parse_phandle_with_args() which treats the
cells name as optional. If it's missing, it is assumed that the phandle
has no arguments.

Up until now, a nvmem node didn't have any arguments, so all the device
trees haven't any '#*-cells' property. But there is a need for an
additional argument for the phandle, for which we need a '#*-cells'
property. Therefore, we need to support nvmem nodes with and without
this property.
