OK, but since you asked later to remove the DT helpers, I will have to resend it anyway:-)

I'm fine with that, but in that case, and in order to be consistent with the existing of_property_read_string, I should include the find_property in these functions. Whereas in my case, it was supposed to be done before.

Please find below a first version of this patch.
