This new function implements a complete and thorough check of an fdt blob's
structure. Given a buffer containing an fdt, it should return 0 only if
the fdt within is structurally sound in all regards. It doesn't check
anything about the blob's contents (i.e. the actual values of the nodes and
properties), of course.

tests will need fdt type definitions provided in a subsequent patch
to libfdt_env.h. Since libfdt.h includes libfdt_env.h in the right
order anyway, just remove the fdt.h include.

This patch adds some testcases for dtc's -Oasm mode. Specifically it
checks that building the asm will result in the same device tree blob
in memory as -Odtb mode would produce, for a variety of trees. This
test uncovered two difficulties with our current -Oasm output, both of
which are addressed in this patch as well.
First, -Oasm output would only be correct if assembled for a
big-endian target. Usually that would be the case, when building
device trees into a firmware or similar. However this makes life
inconvenient for testing on a little-endian target, and one can think
up use cases where a program running on a little endian host might
want to embed a device tree for a big-endian target. This patch
therefore changes -Oasm output to use .byte directives instead of
.long throughout in order to generate byte-for-byte identical trees
regardless of the endianness of the assembler target.
Second, -Oasm output emitted several #define statements which were
then used in the innards of the output - i.e. it assumed the output
would be processed by cpp before being assembled. That may not be
convenient in all build environments, and in any case doesn't work
well with the above fix. So, -Oasm output no longer needs to be
preprocessed before assembling.

Currently, dtc will put the nonsense value 0xfeedbeef into the
boot_cpuid_phys field of an output blob, unless explicitly given
another value with the -b command line option. As well as being a
totally unuseful default value, this also means that dtc won't
properly preserve the boot_cpuid_phys field in -I dtb -O dtb mode.
This patch reworks things to improve the boot_cpuid handling. The new
semantics are that the output's boot_cpuid_phys value is:
the value given on the command line if -b is used
otherwise
the value from the input, if in -I dtb mode
otherwise
0
Implementation-wise we do the following:
- boot_cpuid_phys is added to struct boot_info, so that
structure now contains all of the blob's semantic information.
- dt_to_blob() and dt_to_asm() output the cpuid given in
boot_info
- dt_from_blob() fills in boot_info based on the input blob
- The other dt_from_*() functions just record 0, but we can
change this easily if e.g. we invent a way of specifying the boot cpu
in the source format.
- main() overrides the cpuid in the boot_info between input
and output if -b is given
We add some testcases to check this new behaviour.

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.

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).
