I've noticed something that I consider to be poor form.

The prop_get (and devprop_get()) routines return a size_t.  This is an
unsigned value.  Unfortunately, the implementation code returns -1 to
indicate error, such as no such property.

This means that I can't just do

    if (devprop_get(&sc->sc_dev, "videomode", ...) > 0)

to check for an existing and non-empty property.  Instead, I have to do
something like this:

    if (devprop_get() != (size_t)-1)

I don't particularly like having to cast in order to test for error
results, and the bug this led to (in my own code) demonstrates that this
kind of API is error prone.

I'd recommend changing the return type of prop_get (and devprop_get())
to be ssize_t (a signed value).

Any arguments with this?  If not, then I'll just make the change.
