[PATCH v2 02/13] of: add of_parse_phandle() helper for parsing phandle properties

[Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>]

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

of_parse_phandle() is a helper function to read and parse a phandle
property and return a pointer to the resulting device_node.
