The libfdt read/write functions are now usable enough that it's become a
moderately common pattern to use them to build and manipulate a device
tree from scratch. For example, we do so ourself in our rw_tree1 testcase,
and qemu is starting to use this model when building device trees for some
targets such as e500.
However, the read/write functions require some sort of valid tree to begin
with, so this necessitates either having a trivial canned dtb to begin with
or, more commonly, creating an empty tree using the serial-write functions
first.
This patch adds a helper function which uses the serial-write functions to
create a trivial, empty but complete and valid tree in a supplied buffer,
ready for manipulation with the read/write functions.

In device trees in the world, properties consisting of a single 64-bit
integer are not as common as those consisting of a single 32-bit, cell
sized integer, but they're common enough that they're worth including
convenience functions for.
This patch adds helper wrappers of fdt_setprop_inplace(), fdt_setprop() and
fdt_appendprop() for handling 64-bit integer quantities in properties. For
better consistency with the names of these new *_u64() functions we also
add *_u32() functions as alternative names for the existing *_cell()
functions handling 32-bit integers.

There's currently an off-by-one bug in fdt_subnode_offset_namelen()
which causes it to keep searching after it's finished the subnodes of
the given parent, and into the subnodes of siblings of the original
node which come after it in the tree.
This patch fixes the bug. It also extends the subnode_offset testcase
(updating all of the 'test_tree1' example trees in the process) to
catch it.

In a number of places through libfdt and its tests, we have *_typed()
macro variants on functions which use gcc's typeof and statement
expression extensions to allow passing literals where the underlying
function takes a buffer and size.
These seemed like a good idea at the time, but in fact they have some
problems. They use typeof and statement expressions, extensions I'd
prefer to avoid for portability. Plus, they have potential gotchas -
although they'll deal with the size of the thing passed, they won't
deal with other representation issues (like endianness) and results
could be very strange if the type of the expression passed isn't what
you think it is.
In fact, the only users of these _typed() macros were when the value
passed is a single cell (32-bit integer). Therefore, this patch
removes all these _typed() macros and replaces them with explicit
_cell() variants which handle a single 32-bit integer, and which also
perform endian convesions as appropriate.
With this in place, it now becomes easy to use standardized big-endian
representation for integer valued properties in the testcases,
regardless of the platform we're running on. We therefore do that,
which has the additional advantage that all the example trees created
during a test run are now byte-for-byte identical regardless of
platform.

This patch adds fdt_get_phandle() and fdt_node_offset_by_phandle()
functions to libfdt. fdt_get_phandle() will retreive the phandle
value of a given node, and fdt_node_offset_by_phandle() will locate a
node given a phandle.

This patch adds functions for dealing with the compatible property.
fdt_node_check_compatible() can be used to determine whether a node is
compatible with a given string and fdt_node_offset_by_compatible()
locates nodes with a given compatible string.
Testcases for these functions are also included.

This patch adds functions to libfdt for accessing the memory
reservation map section of a device tree blob. fdt_num_mem_rsv()
retreives the number of reservation entries in a dtb, and
fdt_get_mem_rsv() retreives a specific reservation entry.
fdt_add_mem_rsv() adds a new entry, and fdt_del_mem_rsv() removes a
specific numbered entry.
Testcases for these new functions are also included.

At present, the fdt_subnode_offset() and fdt_path_offset() functions
in libfdt require the exact name of the nodes in question be passed,
including unit address.
This is contrary to traditional OF-like finddevice() behaviour, which
allows the unit address to be omitted (which is useful when the device
name is unambiguous without the address).
This patch introduces similar behaviour to
fdt_subnode_offset_namelen(), and hence to fdt_subnode_offset() and
fdt_path_offset() which are implemented in terms of the former. The
unit address can be omitted from the given node name. If this is
ambiguous, the first such node in the flattened tree will be selected
(this behaviour is consistent with IEEE1275 which specifies only that
an arbitrary node matching the given information be selected).
This very small change is then followed by many more diffs which
change the test examples and testcases to exercise this behaviour.

At present fdt.h #includes stdint.h. This makes some sense, because fdt.h
uses the standard fixed-width integer types. However, this can make life
difficult when building in different environments which may not have a
stdint.h. Therefore, this patch removes the #include from fdt.h, instead
requiring that users of fdt.h define the fixed-width integer types before
including fdt.h, either by themselves including stdint.h, or by any other
means.
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.

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).
