[PATCH v6 02/10] property: Add functions to iterate named child

From: Matti Vaittinen
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 08:56:17 EST


There are a few use-cases where child nodes with a specific name need to
be parsed. Code like:

fwnode_for_each_child_node()
if (fwnode_name_eq())
...

can be found from a various drivers/subsystems. Adding a macro for this
can simplify things a bit.

In a few cases the data from the found nodes is later added to an array,
which is allocated based on the number of found nodes. One example of
such use is the IIO subsystem's ADC channel nodes, where the relevant
nodes are named as channel[@N].

Add a helpers for iterating and counting device's sub-nodes with certain
name instead, of open-coding this in every user.

Revision history:
v5 => v6:
- Add helpers to also iterate through the nodes.
v4 => v5:
- Use given name instead of string 'channel' when counting the nodes
- Add also fwnode_get_child_node_count_named() as suggested by Rob.
v3 => v4:
- New patch as suggested by Jonathan, see discussion in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250223161338.5c896280@jic23-huawei/

Please note, the checkpatch.pl was not happy about the for_each...()
macros. I tried to make them to follow the existing convention. I am
open to suggestions how to improve.
