This isn't true. On most but not all real OF systems, which use, or will 
use, the same mechanism, there is no distinction between "regular" and 
"cross-reference" phandles and device tree cross-references still exist 
with no explicit phandle property. So registering a device without a 
phandle property has to to work, and has to fall back to the regular 
phandle 100% of the time.

What may be true is that no single device tree has a mixture of implicit 
and explicit cross-reference handles, so you could set a flag or 
something. But it's probably not worth it. Do you have a concrete 
example where you cared about this?
