[PATCH 1/3] of: add functions to count number of elements in a property

["Heiko Stübner" <heiko-4mtYJXux2i+zQB+pC5nmwQ@public.gmane.org>]

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner-HCpLIkUQxWGakBO8gow8eQ@public.gmane.org>

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 static function that also centralises strict sanity
checking and DTB format details, as well as a set of wrapper functions
for u8, u16, u32 and u64.
