You're doing a bit more than that, you're introducing a couple of
concepts such as a bus and reg structures, which are concepts above DT,
which could use a bit of clarification. In particular this patch is a
bit hard to review on its own, because you cannot see how things are
supposed to be used without looking at subsequent patches...

I'm not a DT expert, but here goes the best I can do...

I don't think you want addr to be a void **, but a phys_addr_t, see note
about ARM 32-bit LPAE below.

I would use braces on these statements given the multi-line first
statement.

not necessarily, on ARM 32-bit LPAE you have 40-bit physical addresses
but 32-bit virtual address pointers...

same as above.

hmmm, I feel like I just read this code. Maybe you can have a static
little helper funciton to actually read your values.

you're doing recursive calls with a severly limited stack space, you
should probably at least check your depth and catch errors at a
reasonable level.

It's probably cleaner to just have an iterative lookup of the node with
#address_cells in it (in which you can also verify that is also has a
#size-cells in it) and then pass that to the function that actually
reads it.

hmm, this won't work for the cpus' reg properties for example. I would
just assume (and document) that this function always takes valid
address_cells and size_cells (as u32 instead of u32 *). I get that
you're trying to do some caching (from reading later patches), but that
should still be possible to do externally.

If you really really want to, then you should use address_cells, but I'm
not sure if it's actually valid for any bindings to have address_cells
== 0 and size_cells >0. If you have conventions like this, it should be
clearly documented on the function itself!

The !bus seems overly defensive again.

The !bus->translate may be helpful here, but since we're returning a
bunch of -EINVALs you should probably put a debug statement in the error
catching part, so devs can easily enable debugging and figure out where
things are going wrong.

That is, if anyone would ever call this with a bus without translate on
there...

again, memory can exit beyond the 32-bit mark on ARM LPAE systems.

There's no documentation to these functions?

dt_reg? Is this for dt-bindings that specify the reg property? A
comment would be nice.

what does match do? (I know by reading the code, but it should be
documented)

consider using defines for the return values, so your client code can
be:

if (bus->match(bus, node) == BUS_MATCH_SUCCESS)
break;

> + */

ditto

what is this field meant to contain? A hint about drivers passing
information to translate() and match() would be helpful.
