[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/8] dm: add dev_read_u32()

dev_read_u32_default() always returns something even when the property
is missing.  So, it is impossible to do nothing in the case.  One
solution is to use ofnode_read_u32() instead, but adding dev_read_u32()
will be helpful.

BTW, Linux has an equvalent function, device_property_read_u32();
it is clearer that it reads a property.  I cannot understand the
behavior of dev_read_u32() from its name.

BTW, I do not understand why we want *_default helpers.
It is pretty easy to do equivalent without _default.

  priv->val = default;    /* default in case property is missing */
  dev_read_u32(dev, "foo-property", &priv->val);

On the other hand, if we want to do nothing for missing property,
we will end up with clumsy code.

  /* we do not want to overwrite priv->val if property is missing */
  if (dev_read_bool(dev, "foo-property") {
         /* default value '0' will not be used anyway */
         priv->val = dev_read_u32_default(dev, "foo-property", 0);
  }

One more BTW, it was just painful to write equivalent code twice
for CONFIG_DM_DEV_READ_INLINE.
