There should be some error handling to catch this case (ie if the number
of entries does not match the expected count), or if a value in the array
is larger or equal to vm_num. Today the latter is silently handled as end
of entries (similar to 0xff), but that should result in an error.
This would avoid situations like
intel,vm-map = [01 02 03 04 05];
ie where the person writing the devicetree file accidentally entered
index values starting with 1 instead of 0. A mismatch between vm_num
and the number of entries in the array is silently handled as if there
was no property at all, which is at the very least misleading and
most definitely unexpected and should also result in an error.

Also, what happens if the devicetree content is something like the
following ? Would that be valid ?
intel,vm-map = [00 01 01 01 01 01];

Thanks,
Guenter
