If you're checking prop->data[1] == 0 to verify device tree consistency
then maybe it's worth checking that plen == prop->data[0] as well.

Although in the current state these are hard coded into qemu and
unlikely to ever be wrong it's probably nice to check.

It might also be worth printing some error message if these consistency
checks fail as it's probably an indicator of a larger problem somewhere
else than anything actually wrong with the test.

Thanks for adding this check, didn't cross my mind when implementing
the test.
