[PATCHv2 1/7] of: Add support for reading a u32 from a multi-value property.

This patch adds an of_property_read_u32_index() function to allow
reading a single indexed u32 value from a property containing multiple
u32 values.

Hi Rob/Grant,
After a review of my pinctrl driver, it was suggested that one of the helper
functions be moved into the OF subsystem. Could you review and ack this patch
if you're happy with it.
Regards
Tony P
