for each file, nftw() calls the 'fn()' parameter but there is no state
info saved from one call to next. So if we find a chip and want to increment
a counter, we need a global variable and some serialization. I was trying
to keep it simple, given that device-tree files we care about are not large.
But should we add a mutex and increment global counts instead?
