err, yes.  If of_property_read_u32() fails to locate the property, `id'
remains unaltered.  That code appears to believe that
of_property_read_u32() puts its errno into `id'.

AFAICT, it is always a bug to fail to check the of_property_read()
return value (unless the caller somehow *knows* the property exists?). 
Perhaps these functions should be marked __must_check to locate and
prevent such bugs.
