Probably I should have been more precise...

and add "... before the tree is unflattened.". So the it's similar to a
difference between

const void *of_get_property(const struct device_node *np, const char *name,
                         int *lenp)

and

void *__init of_get_flat_dt_prop(unsigned long node, const char *name,
                                 unsigned long *size)

Cheers!
