Hmm, don't want to start an argument but I'm not sure either :). I would argue that
device_property_read_bool() has more users (according to git grep - and if I did not
mess the grep) and it pretty much wraps device_property_present(). So, if there was
no value in it's "meaning" we would/should stop using it and eventually drop it...
Anyways, not really a big deal.
