Subject: [RFC PATCH 69/77] libfdt: Introduce fdt_getprop_offset()

The future support for applying a addon on a base device-tree needs to
get an offset to a property based on the node offset and the
property name.

Several function exists to get a property but none of them allows to
get the property offset.

Fill the lack and introduce fdt_getprop_offset()
