I don't have a problem with the patch, but really the code works fine
as is. A better commit message is:

Most callers of_get_child_count() check that "nr" is non-zero so it
causes a static checker warning when we don't do that here. This
doesn't cause a problem or a crash, but having zero SSUIes (What's
plural of ssui?) doesn't make sense either so let's add a check.
