This patch documents a few more functions in libfdt.h.  It also makes
a slight update to the description of the FDT_ERR_INTERNAL error code.

* @supernodedepth: depth of the ancestor to find

*
* fdt_supernode_atdepth_offset() finds an ancestor of the given node

* 0, its immediate subnodes depth 1 and so forth). So
* fdt_supernode_atdepth_offset(fdt, nodeoffset, 0, NULL);

* nodeoffset has depth D, then:
* fdt_supernode_atdepth_offset(fdt, nodeoffset, D, NULL);
* will return nodeoffset itself.
*
* NOTE: This function is expensive, as it must scan the device tree
* structure from the start to nodeoffset.
*
* returns:

* structure block offset of the node at node offset's ancestor
* of depth supernodedepth (>=0), on success
