[Qemu-devel] [RFC v0 04/10] device_tree: get_prop(): memdup returned properties

[Peter A. G. Crosthwaite]

getprop currently return a pointer into the device tree itself. These pointers
will be corrupted if the device tree is written to in anyway. To make getprop()
safe, duplicate the property so that the value doesnt change over the lifetime
of the returned pointer.
