I *think* that was the intention; it's a long time since I wrote it,
so I'm not sure. However, looking at the implementation, that's not
strictly the case.
We certainly return 0 for any error we explicitly detect. However, if
the node has a "phandle" property that's correctly formed but contains
-1, then we'll return -1. Of course, a correct dt blob won't have
such a property, but then we do detect a bunch of other conditions
that a correct dt shouldn't have.
On balance, I'm thinking I should probably change libfdt to check for
a -1 phandle property and return 0 for that case, like all other error
cases.
