This patch extends dtc syntax to allow references (&label, or
&{/full/path}) directly within property definitions, rather than
inside a cell list. Such references are expanded to the full path of
the referenced node, as a string, instead of to a phandle as
references within cell lists are evaluated.
A testcase is also included.

On several occasions, I've accidentally put properties after subnodes
in a dts file. I've then spent ages thinking that the resulting
syntax error was because of something else.
This patch arranges for this specific syntax error to generate a more
specific and useful error message.

Currently, every 'data' object, used to represent property values, has
two lists of fixup structures - one for labels and one for references.
Sometimes we want to look at them separately, but other times we need
to consider both types of fixup.
I'm planning to implement string references, where a full path rather
than a phandle is substituted into a property value. Adding yet
another list of fixups for that would start to get silly. So, this
patch merges the "refs" and "labels" lists into a single list of
"markers", each of which has a type field indicating if it represents
a label or a phandle reference. String references or any other new
type of in-data marker will then just need a new type value - merging
data blocks and other common manipulations will just work.
While I was at it I made some cleanups to the handling of fixups which
simplify things further.

dtc: Switch dtc to C-style literals
This patch introduces a new version of dts file, distinguished from
older files by starting with the special token /dts-v1/. dts files in
the new version take C-style literals instead of the old bare hex or
OF-style base notation. In addition, the "range" for of memreserve entries
(/memreserve/ f0000-fffff) is no longer recognized in the new format.

The current scheme of having CELLDATA and MEMRESERVE states to
recognize hex literals instead of node or property names is
arse-backwards. The patch switches things around so that literals are
lexed in normal states, and property/node names are only recognized in
the special PROPNODENAME state, which is only entered after a { or a
;, and is left as soon as we scan a property/node name or a keyword.

At present, defining a property as, say:
foo = [abcd], <ffffffff>;
Will cause dtc to insert 2 bytes of zeros between the abcd and the
ffffffff, to align the cell form data.
Doing so seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't believe
there are any users who actually rely on this behaviour. Segher
claims that OF has some defined bindings which include properties an
unaligned subsection of which is interpreted as 32-bit ints (i.e. like
cell data).
Worse, this alignment will cause nothing but pain when we add
expression support to dtc (when celldata is included in a larger
bytestring expession, we won't know the size of the preceding chunk of
the expression until it's evaluated, so we would have to carry
alignment fixup information right through the expression evaluation
process).
Therefore, this patch kills off this alignment behaviour.

Previously, there were a few shift/reduce and reduce/reduce
errors in the grammar that were being handled by the not-so-popular
GLR Parser technique.
Flip a right-recursive stack-abusing rule into a left-recursive
stack-friendly rule and clear up three messes in one shot: No more
conflicts, no need for the GLR parser, and friendlier stackness.
Compensate by reversing the property list on the node.

I like to see the basis cases established early in
the rule sets, so place "empty" reduction first.
Purely cosmetic.

This large patch removes all trailing whitespace from dtc (including
libfdt, the testsuite and documentation). It also removes a handful
of redundant blank lines (at the end of functions, or when there are
two blank lines together for no particular reason).
As well as anything else, this means that quilt won't whinge when I go
to convert the whole of libfdt into a patch to apply to the kernel.

Extend the parser grammer to allow labels before or after any
property data (string, cell list, or byte list), and any
byte or cell within the property data.
Store the labels using the same linked list structure as node
references, but using a parallel list.
When writing assembly output emit global labels as offsets from
the start of the definition of the data.
Note that the alignment for a cell list is done as part of the
opening < delimiter, not the = or , before it. To label a cell
after a string or byte list put the label inside the cell list.
For example,
prop = zero: [ aa bb ], two: < four: 1234 > eight: ;
will produce labels with offsets 0, 2, 4, and 8 bytes from
the beginning of the data for property prop.

Keeps track of open files in a stack, and assigns

Modified error reporting to show source file as well.
No policy on file directory basis has been decided.

At present each property definition in a dts file must give as the
value either a string ("abc..."), a bytestring ([12abcd...]) or a cell
list (<1 2 3 ...>). This patch allows a property value to be given as
several of these, comma-separated. The final property value is just
the components appended together. So a property could have a list of
cells followed by a string, or a bytestring followed by some cells.
Cells are always aligned, so if cells are given following a string or
bytestring which is not a multiple of 4 bytes long, zero bytes are
inserted to align the following cells.
The primary motivation for this feature, however, is to allow defining
a property as a list of several strings. This is what's needed for
defining OF 'compatible' properties, and is less ugly and fiddly than
using embedded \0s in the strings.
