Add an ability to read PACKAGE and LOCAL_REFERENCE properties

Summary

(ACPI changes from https://reviews.freebsd.org/D36638 were extracted to be reviewed separately)

[bz]

Adding mw and kd as well given they have done the abstractions earlier this year and may have an interest.

Unneeded whitespace change probably being my fault from earlier edits. Can you re-adjust that please so it's out of the diff?

I still don't know how really; I'd be open to suggestions but otherwise it works for now.

Hi @dsl,

On the occasion, it would be great to extend device_get_property or add a new routine (e.g. device_get_reference) for obtaining phandles in a unified way. That would allow minimizing the code related to HW description in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D36638 (and some future code I'm working on :) ).

@mw, while opened by@dsl the code in question was done by me. Extending the device interface independent on FDT or ACPI sounds good to me. I shall go an have a look together with @dsl. For reference we are tlaking about an extension to the original works like 206dc82bc3fc5e1d90200e189ce5f2240dfec874 and b344de4d0d163cbd8bf88cb5d226c18fe96f488f .

Hi @mw,

OK, I'll make a note for myself. Thanks for a suggestion!

@mw were you thinking of something like this or more sophisticated? https://people.freebsd.org/~bz/tmp/20220928-02-device-phandle.diff Given the concepts in both worlds are quite different it is kind-of hard to fully unify this case.. (phandle_t node == uint32_t, ACPI_HANDLE == sizeof(void *))

I put an updated version up at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D36793 as that is probably easier to comment on.
