The fdt_get_max_phandle() function has some shortcomings. On one hand
it returns just a uint32_t which means to check for the "negative"
error code a caller has to explicitly check against the error code
(uint32_t)-1. In addition, the -1 is the only error code that can be
returned, so a caller cannot tell the difference between the various
failures.
Fix this by adding a new fdt_find_max_phandle() function that returns an
error code on failure and 0 on success, just like other APIs, and stores
the maximum phandle value in an output argument on success.
This also refactors fdt_get_max_phandle() to use the new function. Add a
note pointing out that the new fdt_find_max_phandle() function should be
preferred over fdt_get_max_phandle().
