Device tree properties are just "bags of bytes".  'cells' in device
tree nomenclature are big endian u32 values.  So, for specifying a
property with one cell (ie: reg =3D <0x2520>;), the data length is 4
bytes and the data is an array of 4 bytes: 0x00 0x00 0x25 0x20.  To
add a property with two cells (ie: reg =3D <0x2520 0x20>;), the data
length is 8 bytes and the data is and array of 8 bytes: 0x00 0x00 0x25
0x20 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x20.
