Kornel Duleba b344de4d0d Extend device_get_property API
In order to support various types of data stored in device
tree properties or ACPI _DSD packages, create a new enum so
the caller can specify the expected type of a property they
want to read, according to the binding. The bus logic will use
that information to process the underlying data.

For example in DT all integer properties are stored in BE format.
In order to get constant results across different platforms we
need to convert its endianness to match the host.

Another example are ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER properties stored
as uint64_t. Before this patch the ACPI logic would refuse
to read them if the provided buffer was smaller than 8 bytes.
Now this can be handled by using DEVICE_PROP_UINT32 type.

Modify the existing consumers of this API to reflect the changes
and update the man pages accordingly.

.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm BUS_GET_PROPERTY
.Nd get child's specific property
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In sys/bus.h
.Ft ssize_t
.Fn BUS_GET_PROPERTY "device_t dev" "device_t child" "const char *propname" \
"void *propvalue" "size_t size" "device_property_type_t type"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn BUS_GET_PROPERTY
method
is called from driver code which wants to access a child's specific data stored
on the bus.
A property has a name and an associated value.
Implementation shall copy to
.Fa propvalue
at most
.Fa size
bytes.
.Pp
.Fn BUS_GET_PROPERTY
supports different property types specified via the
.Fa type
argument.
The
.Fa size
is guaranteed to be a multiple of the underlying property type.
If a type is not supported,
.Fn BUS_GET_PROPERTY
shall return -1.
.Sh NOTES
If
.Fa propvalue
is NULL or
.Fa size
is zero, the implementation shall return only the size of the property.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The property size if successful, otherwise -1.
