+ * of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args() - Find a node pointed by phandle in a list
+ * @np:		pointer to a device tree node containing a list
+ * @list_name:	property name that contains a list
+ * @cells_count: number of argument cells following the phandle
+ * @index:	index of a phandle to parse out
+ * @out_args:	optional pointer to output arguments structure (will be filled)

+ * This function is useful to parse lists of phandles and their arguments.
+ * Returns 0 on success and fills out_args, on error returns appropriate
+ * errno value.
+ *
+ * Caller is responsible to call of_node_put() on the returned out_args->node

+ *
+ * node3 {
