Exactly how is this different from of_property_read_bool()?
AFAICS it's identical! You may be trying to solve the wrong
problem.
And I'm afraid that the routine's name you picked is even more
confusing. The call site ("if (of_property_optional() ...") will
no longer reflect that it's evaluating a boolean condition.
Being an optional property and being boolean are two completely
different things.
