I understand (1, 0) and (1, -1) will always return the same node in the
real cases, but why doing it? Use the same indices both times and avoid
future readers scratch their head thinking why it's different and whether
they might report a different node in a future case. Also, if parsing a
broken device tree, you may point at two different nodes here. Keep things
simple, readable and reliable.
