So... it's listing the names of the properties, but not the contents?
That seems kind of odd.

A QMP command that returns human readable text, rather than something
JSON structured seems... odd.

Admittedly, *how* you'd JSON structure the results gets a bit tricky.
Listing nodes or property names would be easy enough, but getting the
property contents is hairy, since JSON strings are supposed to be
Unicode, but DT properties can be arbitrary bytestrings.

So, this lists it in dts format... kind of.  Because you don't include
the property values, it makes it look like all properties are binary
(either absent or present-but-empty).  I think that's misleading.  If
you're only going to list properties, I think you'd be better off
using different formatting (and maybe a more specific command name as
well).
