I think it's good form if you're actually referencing the properties. I
don't know if it actually makes a difference in the end result of
dtbs_check but it may in terms of making sure properties in this binding
are properly typed when it is tested against. In this case, it appears
you're only looking at uint32 properties so it mightn't have any impact.
Rob would know for sure.
