Overall nice to have the hogs in ACPI too!

Again here my comment is to break out device_property() and fwnode_*
accessing code to a file shared between ACPI and OF.

If it makes sense.

Because the idea was not to invent those abstractions in order to
just use them with ACPI I hope.

The problem is that some of the code seems to be ACPI-specific,
so if it doesn't work out, I'm also OK to keep it like this.
