[PATCH v5 1/1] dt: add of_get_child_count helper function

[b29396@freescale.com (Dong Aisheng)]

From: Dong Aisheng <dong.aisheng@linaro.org>

Currently most code to get child count in kernel are almost same,
add a helper to implement this function for dt to use.

Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com>
Signed-off-by: Dong Aisheng <dong.aisheng@linaro.org>

Rob missed this patch for 3.4 kernel.
Based on Rob's suggestion, we can get it go in with pinctrl driver.
Since Rob once had applied it, i added Rob's ack.
See:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/239

changes v4->v5:
 * do not initialize child node pointer based on Stephen's suggestion.

changes v3->v4:
 * addressed Grant's suggestion to use for_each_child_of_node.

changes v2->v3:
 Addressed some people's comments:
 * do not use assignment as expression
 * return 0 for non-dt case

Changes v1->v2:
 * change the name from of_get_child_number to of_get_child_count
