At least 4 drivers in the kernel are open coding functionality of proposed device_property_match_property_string() helper. There are also more existing users, but I want to limit this to one (biggest user so far) subsystem. Hence, assuming Greg KH is okay this can be routed via IIO (and again via Greg :-). The +28 statistics in particular due to documentation. With more users converted we may actually get rid of some lines of code in the future.
