Is the implementation of get_property correct?  The comment says it
returns the value of a property; but the return statement just returns
the property pointer (cast as void*) it got from of_find_property();
not the value.

Minor correction, it returns the property->value pointer as a void *.

Does the comment or the code need to change?

I don't think so. get_property() can't return the actual value because
it doesn't know what type it is, so it returns a void pointer to the
value and it's up to the caller to interpret it based on the callers
knowledge of what it's expecting, and/or the lenp.
