[PATCH] Add helpers for finding a device node which as a certain property

This commit adds a routine for finding a device node which has a certain
property, the contents of the property are not taken into account,
merely the presence or absence of the property.

Based on that routine, we add a for_each_ macro for iterating over all
nodes that have a certain property.

Pass the brown paper bag ... actually take a reference when we find the
matching node.
