Currently all the read/write functions in libfdt require that the
given tree be v17, and further, that the tree has the memory
reservation block, structure block and strings block stored in that
physical order.
This patch eases these constraints, by making fdt_open_int() reorder
the blocks, and/or convert the tree to v17, so that it will then be
ready for the other read-write functions.
It also extends fdt_pack() to actually remove any gaps between blocks
that might be present.

If future dtb version > 17 are defined, that are still backwards
compatible with v16, libfdt will of course be able to read and
understand them. However, when modifying such a tree, it can't
guarantee that it won't clobber additional structure from the new
version which it doesn't know about. Therefore, before making
modifications to a tree of version >17, we must change it's version to
be exactly 17.

The fdt_set_header() macro casts an arbitrary pointer into (struct
fdt_header *) to set fdt header fields. While we need to change the
type, so that we can use this macro on the usual (void *) used to
represent a device tree blob, the current macro also casts away any
const on the input pointer, which loses an important check.
This patch replaces the fdt_set_header() macro with a set of inline
functions, one for each header field which do a similar thing, but
which won't silently remove const from a given pointer. This approach
is also more in keeping with the individual accessor macros we use for
reading fdt header fields.

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.

It's potentially useful for users of libfdt to sanity check a device
tree (or, rather, a blob of data which may or may not be a device
tree) before processing it in more detail with libfdt.
This patch renames the libfdt internal function _fdt_check_header() to
fdt_check_header() and makes it a published function, so it can now be
used for this purpose.

fdt_del_node(), unlike most of the rw functions does not check the
fdt's header with RW_CHECK_HEADER. However, it could make a mess of
things if the conditions in RW_CHECK_HEADER aren't met. So, this
patch adds the omitted check.

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.

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.

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).

Several places in fdt_rw.c incorrectly use fdt_offset_ptr(), using it
as if it returned an encoded error code on errors, instead of
returning NULL on error as it actually does.
In fact, however, in these instances the extra checks in
fdt_offset_ptr() are useless anyway, so we introduce a new (internal
use) _fdt_offset_ptr() and use that without checking.

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().
