Sorry, I must have been hallucinating. For some reason I though I wrote
qemu_fdt_setprop_string(... compat).
I'd like to take this for 4.2 if possible, but I don't think I have a
reviewed-by (I just got my email set up on my Google computer, so it might be
messy for a bit). I'm happy to submit the cleaner valist version after 4.2, as
per Peter's suggestion.
Alistair: are you OK with this?
