Devicetree: edtlib: fix possible AttributeError in Property.description

Attempting to access the property Property.description
when Property.spec.description is None would raise
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'.

Known properties that may not have a description
(Property.spec.description is None):
- 'compatible' for nodes such as / /soc /soc/timer@e000e010 /leds /pwmleds
- 'reg'        for nodes such as /soc/timer@e000e010
- 'status'     for nodes such as /soc/timer@e000e010
- 'gpios'      for nodes such as /leds/led_0 /buttons/button_0
- 'pwms'       for nodes such as /pwmleds/pwm_led_0

This patch checks the PropertySpec.description attribute before calling
strip(): will return None, and not raise AttributeError.
