The property needs to be specified in a binding somewhere.

What is the reason for doing it this early? I think it would be nicer to do
it after unflattening the DT.

Also, it seems strange to have a string property and then use kstrtouint
to convert it into a number. I think it should either be specified in a DT
binding to be a string and then have the kernel not assume that it is a number,
or we should define it to be binary.
