NAK.

Nobody should be using the old of_property_* functions any more anyway.
You should be using the generic device_propery_* functions which work
regardless of where the information comes from (actual DT vs. ACPI
_DSD).

So no, don't *add* any more of these functions. Only add the generic
version. And if your driver isn't using the generic property
functions... fix it.
