Setting -uuid in the pnv machine does not work:

./qemu-system-ppc64 -machine powernv8,accel=tcg  -uuid 7ff61ca1-a4a0-4bc1-944c-abd114a35e80
qemu-system-ppc64: error creating device tree: (fdt_property_string(fdt, "system-id", buf)): FDT_ERR_BADSTATE

This happens because we're using "fdt_property_string" to retrieve a
"system-id" attribute that does not exist, instead of using
fdt_setprop_string() to create a "system-id" attribute with the uuid
provided via command line.

Fix is correct but this description isn't really accurate.
fdt_property_string() is a "sequential write" function, only used when
you're building a new DT up from scratch, which is an entirely
different mode from read/write access to an existing tree.  Using when
the tree is in read-write state will cause an immediate BADSTATE
error; whether the property exists already or not is irrelevant.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll send a v3 fixing the commit msg.
