It is not as simple as that. There are a lot of optional
properties. Say "prop" is optional? And not present. So -ENOENT. We
then look for this deprecated property. That should not happen.

Using of_property_read_u32(np, "deprecated-prop", &val) actually makes
it stand out, it is special somehow, which is good, because it is
special.
