That will also make the API future proof. If someone somewhen decides to
change the implementation, the user already uses "rtems_ofw_prop_free"
instead of a plain "free" everywhere.

Maybe make clear in the description that these don't have a mapping that
matches FreeBSD's OFW interface.

Be carefull with "rtems_fdt". There is already a wrapper for libfdt with
these prefixes in cpukit/libmisc/rtems-fdt/rtems-fdt.c. And if you use
the types from this file, you should keep the prefix as "rtems_ofw".
