The need to know the number of array elements in a property is
a common pattern. To prevent duplication of open-coded implementations
add a helper function that also centralises strict sanity checking
and DTB format details.

Hi Mark,
did you mean it like this? I've tested it with the sram-reserve change and
it made the part of the determining the number elements a lot nicer :-)

This should be a parameter, so functions for different sized
properties can be a simple wrapper function.

The node name would be useful here too.

Yes! This looks pretty nice! :)

As Rob said in his reply, it would be nice to split this into a static
helper that took elem size as a parameter, so we can have the full suite
of of_property_count_{u8,u16,u32,u64}_elems.

Also, I think you can get rid of len and always use prop->length, as
other helpers seem to do.

Cheers for putting this together!

Mark.
