OF graph is used mainly from V4L2, but ALSA needs to use it too.
Then, ALSA needs to know each port/endpoint type, otherwise it
can't detect ALSA port/endpoint correctly.
This patch enables to use type property on OF graph.

+port / endpoint type
+--------------------
+
+Each ports / port / endpoint can have its type if needed.
+child node can take over parent node type. below example indicates
+device0 type is "typeA" && "typeB",
+device1 type is "typeA" && "typeB" && "typeC".
+
+device {
+       ports {
+               type = "typeA";
+
+               port@0 {
+                       type = "typeB";
+
+                       device0: endpoint@0 {
+                       };
+
+                       device1: endpoint@1 {
+                               type = "typeC";
+                       };
+               };
+               ...
+       };
