At present each property definition in a dts file must give as the value either a string ("abc..."), a bytestring ([12abcd...]) or a cell list (<1 2 3 ...>). This patch allows a property value to be given as several of these, comma-separated. The final property value is just the components appended together. So a property could have a list of cells followed by a string, or a bytestring followed by some cells. Cells are always aligned, so if cells are given following a string or bytestring which is not a multiple of 4 bytes long, zero bytes are inserted to align the following cells. The primary motivation for this feature, however, is to allow defining a property as a list of several strings. This is what's needed for defining OF 'compatible' properties, and is less ugly and fiddly than using embedded \0s in the strings.
