Surely that's v9; "+++" is rather unusual.

Wasn't that already checked in _start()?
Why not set err = -EINVAL inside the if, rather than setting it to an
error value here by default, then having to over-write it at the end of
the function?

This is only used in one place; why not simply inline this into
of_phandle_iter_start()? It would make the code simpler.

Why not pass these values into of_phandle_iter_next() instead? There's
no need to pass them just to _start() so they can be read by _next()
instead.

Can't you detect an error case by e.g. (cur == NULL) and thus avoid
requiring an explicit err field?
Together with removing:

... then you'd only be left with cur/end, so I think you could get away
without a struct at all, but simply "cur" as the iterator variable, plus
"end" as the one temp variable.
