99.9% of the time, this is not where the property value is stored as it
points into an FDT blob. I suppose that is okay, but just want to make
sure.
The DT API for creating new nodes and properties is horrible as it is
multiple allocs and strdups which makes for tricky error paths. A better
API to centralize it would be welcome, but if this is the only case you
came across it's certainly not a requirement.
