I'm going to do one more change to this.

Mika proposed we should have an array of strings and numbers in this
structure instead of just strings. It will make delivering things like
flags much easier.

The structure will then look like this:

struct dev_gen_prop {
	enum dev_prop_type type;
	const char *name;
        size_t nval;
	const char **str;
	u64 *num;
};

Cheers,
