There's no need to get the length of an DT array property before
parsing the array. of_property_read_variable_u32_array() takes a
minimum and maximum length and returns the actual length (or error
code).

This is part of a larger effort to remove callers of of_get_property()
and similar functions. of_get_property() leaks the DT property data
pointer which is a problem for dynamically allocated nodes which may
be freed.

Previously we wouldn't try to initialize the columns when the
rows/columns were invalid, so this block could move before the last for
loop above.

But it doesn't really matter given that these are exceptions and really
shouldn't happen, so:

I don't quite like of_property_read_variable_u32_array() because it is
OF-specific. device_property_count_u32() will return the number of
elements in an array. But I guess this driver will only be used on an OF
system... 

Applied, thank you.

Yeah, this hardware only exists on fairly old Tegra devices and I know
of no plans to support anything other that DT on those.

Oh, missed this. That's weird it is missing. New patch coming.
