Does this really work? Why not use qemu_fdt_setprop_cells()?

qemu_fdt_setprop_cells() is for "set this property to
contain this list of 32-bit integers" (and it does a byteswap
of each 32-bit value from host to BE). That's not what
you want for a string (or a string list, which is what
we have here).

Cc'ing David Gibson who's our device tree expert to see if there's
a nicer way to write this. Oddly, given that it's used in the
ubiquitous 'compatible' prop, the dtc Documentation/manual.txt
doesn't say anything about properties being able to be
'string lists', only 'strings', '32 bit numbers', 'lists of
32-bit numbers' and 'byte sequences'. You have to dig through
the header file comments to deduce that a string list is
represented by a string with embedded NULs separating
each list item.

I copied this from hw/arm/virt.c, but messed up.  There they use

       const char compat[] = "arm,armv8-timer\0arm,armv7-timer";
       qemu_fdt_setprop(vms->fdt, "/timer", "compatible",
                        compat, sizeof(compat));

I'll send a v2, but I'd be happy to add some sort of setprop_stringlist function. Maybe we just indicate the length with two '\0's? IIRC that's how other similar-looking data structures are encoded.
