Phandle references work by having 2 pieces:
- a "phandle" 1-cell property in the device tree node
- a reference to the same value in a property we want to point
to the other node
To generate the 1-cell property, we need an allocation mechanism that
gives us a unique number space. This patch adds an allocator for these
properties.

can easily double check for duplicates. Would also allow you to start
from 1 rather than magic number 0x8000?
while (fdt_node_offset_by_phandle(fdt, phandle) != FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND)
phandle++;
