Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 245/293] device property: Define type of
 PROPERTY_ENRTY_*() macros

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@...ux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit c505cbd45f6e9c539d57dd171d95ec7e5e9f9cd0 ]

Some of the drivers may use the macro at runtime flow, like

  struct property_entry p[10];
...
  p[index++] = PROPERTY_ENTRY_U8("u8 property", u8_data);

In that case and absence of the data type compiler fails the build:

drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_dmi.c:79:29: error: Expected ; at end of statement
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_dmi.c:79:29: error: got {
