[RFC PATCH v5 2/3] vfio: platform: access device property as a list of strings

[Baptiste Reynal]

From: Antonios Motakis <a.motakis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Certain device 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.

v4 -> v5:
 - return ENOSPC when the buffer size is too small
 - remove strlen call

v3 -> v4:
 - The list length is computed before strings copy. If the entire list
   doesn't fit, no strings are copied to the user.
