OF_finddevices returns ((phandle_t)-1) in case of failure. Some code
in existing drivers checked return value to be equal to 0 or
less/equal to 0 which is also wrong because phandle_t is unsigned
type. Most of these checks were for negative cases that were never
triggered so trhere was no impact on functionality.

Use them in some existing code that is vulnerable to roundoff errors.
The existing constant SBT_1NS is a honeypot, luring unsuspecting folks into
writing code such as long_timeout_ns*SBT_1NS to generate the argument for a
sleep call. The actual value of 1ns in sbt units is ~4.3, leading to a
large roundoff error giving a shorter sleep than expected when multiplying
by the trucated value of 4 in SBT_1NS. (The evil honeypot aspect becomes
clear after you waste a whole day figuring out why your sleeps return early.)
only gpiobus configured via FDT is supported. Bus enumeration is
supported. Devices are created for each device found. 1-Wire
temperature controllers are supported, but other drivers could be
written. Temperatures are polled and reported via a sysctl. Errors
are reported via sysctl counters. Mis-wired bus detection is included
for more trouble shooting. See ow(4), owc(4) and ow_temp(4) for
details of what's supported and known issues.
This has been tested on Raspberry Pi-B, Pi2 and Beagle Bone Black
with up to 7 devices.
