Remind me about this one after the merge window.
That said, I'm not very happy about the state of dt property parsing
because a lot of code needs to be written to do a very simple thing.
I've got a prototype patch I'm working on which allows a parsing
'spec' to be passed into an "of_parse()" function that batch-decodes a
set of values and returns a single error code. That should simplify a
lot of things. That function might be a better solution if I pull in
parsing of multiple strings.
