A property's data can be populated with a file's contents
 as follows:

 node {
        prop = /incbin/("path/to/data");
 };

 A subset of a file can be included by passing start and size parameters.
 For example, to include bytes 8 through 23:

 node {
        prop = /incbin/("path/to/data", 8, 16);
 };

Can I ask; what is the intended usage of such a thing?  How large
would a typical binary blob be?

I use it for embedding guest device trees in a hypervisor's device tree.
