Prop isn't used anywhere so why not remove the local variable and
test the result of this call inside the if condition?

We can't test count for -EINVAL to detect the missing property
because -EINVAL is also returned on a non-multiple of u32 length
property? Maybe we shouldn't worry about that case and turn
-EINVAL into 0.
