Do you have any need for different flags? I can't really see a need for
atomic or dma allocs or ???, so drop it I think.

We should be able to just put the node and all the properties already
attached will be freed.
Looking at the history of this code, it originally did the kref_init
much later in dlpar_attach_node(). So there was a window of allocating
the node and adding properties where you'd need to manually free
everything. Now that the node is referenced from the start, a put should
free everything.

Looks like you need this because code does: alloc properties, alloc
node, add properties, attach node. It would need to be refactored to
alloc the node first, but that's a bit more complex needing someone to
test on pSeries.

Looks to me like this could be avoided with this change:

Based on the comments, 'buf' should be nul terminated, so I would think
that tmp == end would be an error. But I really don't know.
Really need some pSeries people to comment on all this.
Another option is if value is NULL, then of_property_alloc() should
ensure the buffer is zeroed. Then you just need the memcpy.
