This looks wrong to me. From what I understand the value data is allocated as
trailing memory that is part of the property allocation itself. (ie. prop =
kzalloc(sizeof(*prop) + len, allocflags)). So, kfree(prop) should also take care
of the trailing value data. Calling kfree(prop->value) is bogus since
prop->value wasn't dynamically allocated on its own.

Also, this condition will always fail. You explicitly set prop->value = prop + 1
in alloc.

Maybe I need to go back and look at v1 again.
