Hi Daniel,
The concept looks good. here are a few comments on the
implementation.

How early is this running? If the allocator is set up by now, then
this should use kzalloc()...

... which would also mean that kstrdup()/kmemdup() can be used here
directly.

This would be useful in common code. prom_create_property() might
be a better name. It should also accept a length argument for the
size of the data.

This should be using the existing of_attach_node() function to link
the node into the tree (in fact I know you've seen it because the
above 6 lines are identical). :-) Also, there already exists a function
"new_node" in arch/powerpc/platforms/iseries/vio.c that would be
useful to move into drivers/of/base.c

What if p is NULL? prom_remove_property() looks like it won't break
if it is, but that looks to be only by luck. I think this can be more
defensive.
