+/**
+ * of_parse_phandles_with_args - Find a node pointed by phandle in a list
+ * @np:		pointer to a device tree node containing a list
+ * @list_name:	property name that contains a list
+ * @cells_name:	property name that specifies phandles' arguments count
+ * @index:	index of a phandle to parse out
+ * @out_node:	pointer to device_node struct pointer (will be filled)
+ * @out_args:	pointer to arguments pointer (will be filled)
+ *
+ * This function is useful to parse lists of phandles and their arguments.
+ * Returns 0 on success and fills out_node and out_args, on error returns
+ * appropriate errno value.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * phandle1: node1 {
+ * 	#list-cells = <2>;
+ * }
+ *
+ * phandle2: node2 {
+ * 	#list-cells = <1>;
+ * }
+ *
+ * node3 {
+ * 	list = <&phandle1 1 2 &phandle2 3>;
+ * }
+ *
+ * To get a device_node of the `node2' node you may call this:
+ * of_parse_phandles_with_args(node3, "list", "#list-cells", 2, &node2, &args);
