Fine by me. Doesn't make a difference for the binary anyway, but it helps
document the code a bit.

Any specific reason you think EINVAL is more appropriate than ENODEV?

I had first used 'err' for both fwnode_property_count_u32() and
fwnode_property_read_u32_array(). The former returns "actual count or error
code", while the latter is only "error code". And I found it weird to read the
code as "does error code equal 2", if I used 'err' as variable name.

I've split this up:
 * addr_count for fwnode_property_count_u32's result
 * err for fwnode_property_read_u32_array's result

Since addr_count is only used before err is touched, I guess the compiler will
optimize this out anyway?


Best,
Sander
