While '?', '.', '+', '*', and '_' are considered valid characters their
use is discouraged in recommended practices. '#' is also only
recommended to be used at the beginning of property names.

Testing this found one typo error with '.' used instead of ','. The
rest of the warnings were all from underscores.

Hrm.  I'm not totally convinced about this.  PAPR definitely specifies
a few properties that include '#' not at the beginning.  I'm not sure
that IEEE1275 doesn't as well (it's not exactly easy to grep for a
single character).

I'm not sure about '?' either.  I didn't positively identify any
properties including it, but there are certainly OF configuration
variables specified by PAPR including '?', and I think those will be
exposed in the device tree as properties.

I'm not 100% sure about '*' either, I have a vague memory of some spec
that requires it, but I'm not certain.

AFAIK, excluding '.', '+' and '_' should be ok, except for device_type
which you already have special exception for.
