Subject: [PATCH 3.2 129/164] of: Add of_property_match_string() to find
 index  into a string list

3.2.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@...retlab.ca>

commit 7aff0fe33033fc75b61446ba29d38b1b1354af9f upstream.

Add a helper function for finding the index of a string in a string
list property.  This helper is useful for bindings that use a separate
*-name property for attaching names to tuples in another property such
as 'reg' or 'gpios'.
