#size-cells no longer occur.

(Thanks for catching that.)

That is a bigger discussion.  I'd prefer to not hold up this series for that
question to be resolved.  It will be easy enough to generalize in an add-on
patch later.

Will do.

These are in a unpacked form, so cpu byte order, not FDT byte order.

Since I'm accessing 4 bytes of the values, I need to be sure the lengths
are at least 4.  For #address-cells and #size-cells the property is
specified as four bytes, so I could simplify the code for the specific case.

If this gets extended to any arbitrary property then a new of_prop_val_eq()
would check that the lengths are equal and the values (of size length) are
also equal.
