[POWERPC] Add of_get_next_parent()
Iterating through a device node's parents is simple enough, but dealing
with the refcounts properly is a little ugly, and replicating that logic
is asking for someone to get it wrong or forget it all together, eg:
while (dn != NULL) {
/* loop body */
tmp = of_get_parent(dn);
of_node_put(dn);
dn = tmp;
}
So add of_get_next_parent(), inspired by of_get_next_child(). The
contract is that it returns the parent and drops the reference on the
current node, this makes the loop look like:
while (dn != NULL) {
/* loop body */
dn = of_get_next_parent(dn);
}
