Hi Frank,
Thank you for the review.

For future me, for when I look back and read this commit, please add something
to the effect of:
Create driver/of/property.c to contain procedures for accessing and
interpreting device tree properties. The procedures are moved from
drivers/of/base.c, with no changes other than copying only the
includes required by the moved procedures.
How about this as the commit message combining the two and dropping the
last sentence from the original description:

convenience functions. In the near future this would also include OF
specific implementation of the fwnode property and graph APIs.

The reference to base.c provides a documentation trail to all of the
earlier git commits that created and modified the procedures.
I'll add that.
It would also be useful to say what procedures do and do not belong
in this file. My understanding is that the intent is for
drivers/of/property.c and drivers/acpi/property.c to provide the
respective functionality that is used by drivers/base/property.c
and that drivers also may directly access the procedures in
drivers/of/property.c.
I'll add something along those lines. The fwnode op struct and the
operations in that will be in this file as well.
