Subject[PATCH 1/2] of: add support for reading s32 property value
Date
Add of_property_read_s32() to read the signed 32bit number
from dt property value. This supports to pass the -ve numbers
from dt. Use 2's complement method for represnting negative number
and passed as u32 from dts. When reading back the value, again
converted to 2's complement if msb shows as 1.
