12   This creates a new generic drm property which can then be attached to a drm
13   object with drm_object_attach_property. The returned property object must be
14   freed with drm_property_destroy.
15   </p><p>
16
17   Note that the DRM core keeps a per-device list of properties and that, if
18   <code class="function">drm_mode_config_cleanup</code> is called, it will destroy all properties created
19   by the driver.

21   A pointer to the newly created property on success, NULL on failure.
