In preparation to remove direct access to device_node.type, add
of_node_is_type() and of_node_get_device_type() helpers to check and
retrieve the device type.

I'm a little confused.  The patch comment says "remove direct access to device_node.type.
device_node.type is set to the value of the property "device_type" in populate_node(),
but of_node_get_device_type() is looking for property "type".

I'd like to see one or two examples of how you plan to use of_node_get_device_type()
(outside of of_node_is_type()) and examples of planned use of of_node_is_type() so
I can better understand anticipated usage.  Complete, clean patches not needed for
the examples, just enough text for me to see the resulting code change where the
helpers are used.

Crap. That should be device_type.

See my dt/testing branch. Most cases are of_node_is_type which
replaces strcmp's of node->type. I'll be sending out the patches soon.
