[RFC PATCH v2 3/4] vfio: platform: devtree: access property as a list of strings

From: Antonios Motakis
Date: Thu Oct 16 2014 - 11:55:54 EST


Certain device tree properties (e.g. the device node name, the compatible
string), are available as a list of strings (separated by the null
terminating character). Let the VFIO user query this type of properties.
