dt: add helper functions to read u32 and string property values

Browse Source 
Add helper functions to retrieve unsigned integer and string property
values from properties of a device node. These helper functions can be
used to lookup a property in a device node, perform error checking and
read the property value.

[grant.likely: some word smithing and be more defensive validating the string]
