The do { } while (0) shouldn't be necessary inside the ({}), but I
think we should change the places that are checking the return value
of qemu_fdt_setprop_string_array() to not check the return value,
because it will always be zero. qemu_fdt_setprop_string_array() calls
qemu_fdt_setprop() which exits QEMU on error. Then, after there are
no callers checking the return value we can change this macro to

#define qemu_fdt_setprop_strings(fdt, path, prop, ...)          \
    do {                                                       \
       static const char * const __strs[] = { __VA_ARGS__ };   \
       qemu_fdt_setprop_string_array(fdt, path, prop,          \
               (char **)&__strs, ARRAY_SIZE(__strs));          \
     } while(0)
