Why this can't be __initconst?

So it's basically mimics the concept of phandle, right?

Better to do if with explicit 'if ()' as it's done in the rest of the code.
if (prop->is_array)
ref_args = ...;
else
ref_args = ...;

It seems it wasn't ever used, so, can be dropped completely.

Hmm... This bumps the size of union a lot for each existing property_entry.
Is there any other way? Maybe we can keep pointer and allocate memory for it
when copying?

I would rather leave it on one line and shift right all \:s in this macro.

Ditto.
