There are lots of situations where you don't know the size of the property in advance (e.g. strings), and drivers use of_find_property() or of_get_property() to pre-allocate a buffer or to verify that the property is correctly formed in the device tree.
To follow-up, I have this problem right now with pinctrl_dt_to_map(). The pinctrl-%d property in the device tree is an array of phandles. The array can be any size, and pinctrl_dt_to_map() queries the size of the property to determine how many phandles there are. It iterates over all of them. How do I support that with device_property_read_u32_array()? That function expects to be told how many phandles there are, and it doesn't even tell me if there are more or fewer than the number I've given.
