FWIW Linux is using of_property_read_u64 to get the stride. It has
always been the case and I don't understand how we end up to use
dt_property_u32 in Xen as we port the driver from Linux...

So before using dt_read_number in Xen, I would rather check if the DT
binding is not clear enough or the Linux drivers doesn't respect the
binding.
