[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 4/8] device_tree: qemu_fdt_getprop converted to use the error API

[Eric Auger]

Current qemu_fdt_getprop exits if the property is not found. It is
sometimes needed to read an optional property, in which case we do
not wish to exit but simply returns a null value.

This patch converts qemu_fdt_getprop to accept an Error **, and existing
users are converted to pass &error_fatal. This preserves the existing
behaviour. Then to use the API with your optional semantic a null
parameter can be conveyed.

v1 -> v2:
- add a doc comment in the header file

RFC -> v1:
- get rid of qemu_fdt_getprop_optional and implement Peter's suggestion
  that consists in using the error API
