Hi Calvin,

Thank you for the patch.

Is the concept of fwnode ID documented clearly somewhere ? I think this
function should otherwise have more documentation, at least to explain
what the ID is.

Would it make sense to standardize error codes ? of_property_read_u32()
can return -EINVAL, -ENODATA or -EOVERFLOW. I don't think the caller of
this function would be very interested to tell those three cases apart.
Maybe we should return -EINVAL in all error cases ? Or maybe different
error codes to mean "the backend doesn't support the concept of IDs",
and "the device doesn't have an ID" ?
