Some properties may contain multiple values, these values may need
to be added to the property respectively. this patch provides this
functionality. The main purpose of fdt_append_prop() is to append
the values to a existing property, or create a new property if it
dose not exist.

This patch turns on a bunch of extra gcc warnings, most of which are
probably a good idea. Of the new warnings -Wnested-externs and
-Wstrict-prototypes need no code changes, we're already warning-clean.
The remaining one, -Wmissing-prototypes requires trivial changes in
some of the tests (making functions local).
This patch also rearranges the warnings flags into a separate make
variable for convenience, and turns on -Werror, to really encourage
people to keep the code warning-clean.

Kumar has already added alias expansion to fdt_path_offset().
However, in some circumstances it may be convenient for the user of
libfdt to explicitly get the string expansion of an alias. This patch
adds a function to do this, fdt_get_alias(), and uses it to implement
fdt_path_offset().

The fdt_offset_ptr_typed() macro seemed like a good idea at the time.
However, it's not actually used all that often, it can silently throw
away const qualifications and it uses a gcc extension (typeof) which
I'd prefer to avoid for portability.
Therefore, this patch gets rid of it (and the fdt_offset_ptr_typed_w()
variant which was never used at all). It also makes a few variables
const in testcases, which always should have been const, but weren't
caught before because of the aforementioned silent discards.

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.

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, 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).

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.
