I agree with Philipp here; this looks strange and needs a better
description.

Looking a bit more in details:

 - priv->breakinputs has type struct stm32_breakinput[MAX_BREAKINPUT]
 - nb is in [0 .. MAX_BREAKINPUT]
 - sizeof(struct stm32_breakinput) == 3 * sizeof(u32)
 - of_property_read_u32_array reads $array_size u32 quantities

so to read $nb members of type stm32_breakinput array_size must be a
multiple of 3 which isn't given any more after your patch. This makes me
believe your suggested change to be wrong.

Best regards
Uwe
