OF_getprop_alloc takes element size argument and returns number of
elements in the property. There are valid use cases for such behavior
but mostly API consumers pass 1 as element size to get string
properties. What API users would expect from OF_getprop_alloc is to be
a combination of malloc + OF_getprop with the same semantic of return
value. This patch modifies API signature to match these expectations.
For the valid use cases with element size != 1 and to reduce
modification scope new OF_getprop_alloc_multi function has been
introduced that behaves the same way OF_getprop_alloc behaved prior to
this patch.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Avalon-attached ROMs, reserved areas of DRAM, etc, as a filesystem:

Implement a new "geomio" configuration argument to altera_avgen(4),
the generic I/O device we attach to various BERI peripherals. The new
option requests that, instead of exposing the underlying device via a
special device node in /dev, it instead be exposed via geom(4),
allowing it to be used with filesystems. The current implementation
does not allow a device to be exposed both for file/mmap and geom, so
one of the two models must be selected when configuring it via FDT or
device.hints. A typical use of the new option will be:
sri-cambridge,geomio = "rw";

to check the status property in their probe routines.
Simplebus used to only instantiate its children whose status="okay"
but that was improper behavior, fixed in r261352. Now that it doesn't
check anymore and probes all its children; the children all have to
do the check because really only the children know how to properly
interpret their status property strings.
Right now all existing drivers only understand "okay" versus something-
that's-not-okay, so they all use the new ofw_bus_status_okay() helper.
Implement an FDT attachment for altera_avgen(4).
Portions of the changeset updating DTS and device.hints will be merged
separately.

Rework altera_avgen(4) to cleanly(ish) separate nexus bus
attachment from the driver itself. This should allow us to
plug in an fdt attachment more easily.

Start restructuring of altera_avgen(4) so that it can have an FDT
attachment -- this requires first properly breaking out the current
nexus attachment from the driver implementation.

CPU cores on Altera FPGAs. The device driver allows memory-mapped devices
on Altera's Avalon SoC bus to be exported to userspace via device nodes.
device.hints directories dictate device name, permissible access methods,
physical address and length, and I/O alignment. Devices can be accessed
using read(2)/write(2), but also memory mapped in userspace using mmap(2).
Devices attach directly to the Nexus, as is common for embedded device
drivers; in the future something more mature might be desirable. There is
currently no facility to support directing device-originated interrupts to
userspace.
In the future, this device driver may be renamed to socgen(4), as it can
in principle also be used with other system-on-chip (SoC) busses, such as
Axi on ASICs and FPGAs. However, we have only tested it on Avalon busses
with memory-mapped ROMs, frame buffers, etc.
