Frank Rowand 0b3ce78e90 of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()
Create a cache of the nodes that contain a phandle property.  Use this
cache to find the node for a given phandle value instead of scanning
the devicetree to find the node.  If the phandle value is not found
in the cache, of_find_node_by_phandle() will fall back to the tree
scan algorithm.

The cache is initialized in of_core_init().

The cache is freed via a late_initcall_sync() if modules are not
enabled.

If the devicetree is created by the dtc compiler, with all phandle
property values auto generated, then the size required by the cache
could be 4 * (1 + number of phandles) bytes.  This results in an O(1)
node lookup cost for a given phandle value.  Due to a concern that the
phandle property values might not be consistent with what is generated
by the dtc compiler, a mask has been added to the cache lookup algorithm.
To maintain the O(1) node lookup cost, the size of the cache has been
increased by rounding the number of entries up to the next power of
two.

The overhead of finding the devicetree node containing a given phandle
value has been noted by several people in the recent past, in some cases
with a patch to add a hashed index of devicetree nodes, based on the
phandle value of the node.  One concern with this approach is the extra
space added to each node.  This patch takes advantage of the phandle
property values auto generated by the dtc compiler, which begin with
one and monotonically increase by one, resulting in a range of 1..n
for n phandle values.  This implementation should also provide a good
reduction of overhead for any range of phandle values that are mostly
in a monotonic range.

Performance measurements by Chintan Pandya <cpandya@codeaurora.org>
of several implementations of patches that are similar to this one
suggest an expected reduction of boot time by ~400ms for his test
system.  If the cache size was decreased to 64 entries, the boot
time was reduced by ~340 ms.  The measurements were on a 4.9.73 kernel
for arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sda670-mtp.dts, contains 2371 nodes and
814 phandle values.
