Thanks for the review, my answers below.

I would like to keep this as is for the matter of backporting.
With that done, I can clean up further.

Yes, but the same applies to many functions in the property.c. I don't want to
treat this specially:
- exceptionally for this function (what about the rest?)
- for the matters of backporting

...

TL;DR: I would like to move this patch forward as is. After that I will
consider cleaning up as suggested taking into account other places.
