This adds following helper routines:
- of_property_read_u8_array()
 - of_property_read_u16_array()
 - of_property_read_u8()
 - of_property_read_u16()
 This expects arrays from DT to be passed as:
- u8 array: property = /bits/ 8 <0x50 0x60 0x70>;
 - u16 array: property = /bits/ 16 <0x5000 0x6000 0x7000>;

V2->V3:
- Expect u8 & u16 arrays to be passed using: /bits/ 8 or 16
 - remove common macro, as not much common now :(
 
You could at least create macro to do a precheck if you want to.
Like #define CHECK_PROP(prop, sz, out)
{ if (!prop) return -EINVAL; if (!prop->value) return -ENODATA; if ((sz * sizeof(*out)) > prop->length) return -EOVERFLOW; }
Of course you can do even robust macro to cover types, but I don't like ugly macros (as I can't see how it could be shaped nicely).
