[RFC PATCH v3 1/5] of: dynamic: Add of_changeset_update_prop_string

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

Add a helper function to add string property updates to an OF changeset.
This is similar to of_changeset_add_prop_string(), but instead of adding
the property (and failing if it exists), it will update the property.

This shall be used later in the DT hardware prober.
