Currently fdt_next_node() will find the next node in the blob
regardless of whether it is above, below or at the same level in the
tree as the starting node - the depth parameter is updated to indicate
which is the case. When a depth parameter is supplied, this patch
makes it instead terminate immediately when it finds the END_NODE tag
for a node at depth 0. In this case it returns the offset immediately
past the END_NODE tag.
This has a couple of advantages. First, this slightly simplifies
fdt_subnode_offset(), which no longer needs to explicitly check that
fdt_next_node()'s iteration hasn't left the starting node. Second,
this allows fdt_next_node() to be used to implement
_fdt_node_end_offset() considerably simplifying the latter function.
The other users of fdt_next_node() either don't need to iterate out of
the starting node, or don't pass a depth parameter at all. Any
callers that really need to iterate out of the starting node, but keep
tracking depth can do so by biasing the initial depth value.
This is a semantic change, but I think it's very unlikely to break any
existing library users.

libfdt is supposed to easy to embed in projects all and sundry.
Often, it won't be practical to separate the embedded libfdt's
namespace from that of the surrounding project. Which means there can
be namespace conflicts between even libfdt's internal/static functions
and functions or macros coming from the surrounding project's headers
via libfdt_env.h.
This patch, therefore, renames a bunch of libfdt internal functions
and macros and makes a few other chances to reduce the chances of
namespace collisions with embedding projects. Specifically:
- Internal functions (even static ones) are now named _fdt_*()
- The type and (static) global for the error table in
fdt_strerror() gain an fdt_ prefix
- The unused macro PALIGN is removed
- The memeq and streq macros are removed and open-coded in the
users (they were only used once each)
- Other macros gain an FDT_ prefix
- To save some of the bulk from the previous change, an
FDT_TAGALIGN() macro is introduced, where FDT_TAGALIGN(x) ==
FDT_ALIGN(x, FDT_TAGSIZE)

This patch turns on the -Wpointer-arith option in the dtc Makefile,
and fixes the resulting warnings due to using (void *) in pointer
arithmetic. While convenient, pointer arithmetic on void * is not
portable, so it's better that we avoid it, particularly in libfdt.

Although it's a low-level function that shouldn't normally be needed,
there are circumstances where it's useful for users of libfdt to use
the _fdt_next_tag() function. Therefore, this patch renames it to
fdt_next_tag() and publishes it in libfdt.h.
In addition, this patch adds a new testcase using fdt_next_tag(),
dtbs_equal_ordered. This testcase tests for structural equality of
two dtbs, including the order of properties and subnodes, but ignoring
NOP tags, the order of the dtb sections and the layout of strings in
the strings block. This will be useful for testing other dtc
functionality in the future.

As a read-only functions, which take a const pointer to the fdt, treat
fdt_get_property() and fdt_getprop() as returning const pointers to
within the blob. fdt_get_property_w() and fdt_getprop_w() versions
are supplied which take a non-const fdt pointer and return a non-const
pointer for the benefit of callers wishing to alter the device tree
contents.
Likewise the lower-level fdt_offset_ptr() and _fdt_offset_ptr()
functions are changed to return const pointers, with *_w() versions
supplied.

First, this patch removes several underused error codes:
FDT_ERR_BADPOINTER and FDT_ERR_BADHEADER were not used at all and are
simply removed. FDT_ERR_SIZE_MISMATCH was very similar in spirit to
FDT_ERR_NOSPACE, and used only in circumstances where there can be no
confusion between the two, so is removed and folded into
FDT_ERR_NOSPACE. FDT_ERR_INTERAL was used on only one place, on a
"can't happen" check. It seems of little value so the check and error
code are removed also.
Second, the error codes have been re-numbered and grouped roughly by
severity. That is codes which can reasonably occur in normal
operation separated from those which indicate bad parameters (and
therefore a bug in the caller) or a bad or corrupted device tree blob.
Third the test function fdt_strerror() is cleaned up a little based on
these changes.

At present, libfdt functions returning a structure offset return a
zero-or-positive offset on success, and return a negative error code
on failure. Functions which only return an error code return a
positive version of the error code, or 0 on success.
This patch improves consistency by always returning negative error
codes on failure, for both types of function. With this change, we do
away with the special fdt_offset_error() macro for checking whether a
returned offset value is an error and extracting the encoded error
value within. Instead an explicit (ret_value < 0) is now the
preferred way of checking return values for both offset-returning and
error-code-returning functions.
The fdt_strerror() function in the test code is updated
correspondingly to make more sense with the new conventions.

This patch abolishes the non-standard and confusing encoding of errors
into pointer return values. The only functions still returning such a
potentially encoded pointer are fdt_get_property() and fdt_getprop().
Those functions also return a length via an (int *). With this patch
those functions instead now return NULL on any error, and return the
code indicating the type of error in the length paramater.

At present, the blob containing a device tree is passed to the various
fdt_*() functions as a (struct fdt_header *) i.e. a pointer to the
header structure at the beginning of the blob.
This patch changes all the functions so that they instead take a (void
*) pointing to the blob. Under some circumstances can avoid the need
for the caller to cast a blob pointer into a (struct fdt_header *)
before passing it to the fdt_*() functions.
Using a (void *) also reduce the temptation for users of the library
to directly dereference toe (struct fdt_header *) to access header
fields. Instead they must use the fdt_get_header() or
fdt_set_header() macros, or the fdt_magic(), fdt_totalsize()
etc. wrappers around them which are safer, since they will always
handle endian conversion.
With this change, the whole-tree moving, or manipulating functions:
fdt_move(), fdt_open_into() and fdt_pack() no longer need to return a
pointer to the "new" tree. The given (void *) buffer pointer they
take can instead be used directly by the caller as the new tree.
Those functions are thus changed to instead return an error code
(which in turn reduces the number of functions using the ugly encoding
of error values into pointers).

fdt_property_offset() is the only function in the library returning a
direct offset to a property, and no function takes such an offset
(they only take offsets to nodes, not properties). Furthermore the
only client uses for this function I can think of involve immediately
translating the offset into a pointer, effectively duplicating the
internal function _fdt_getprop()
This function abolishes fdt_property_offset(), replacing it with
fdt_get_property(), a renamed and now externally visible version of
_fdt_getprop().
This patch fixes a number of embarrasing oversights which meant libfdt
did not work correctly on little endian machines. With this patch the
testsuite now passes on x86. Device trees are always created
big-endian.
