The structure in flat_dt.h defining the layout of a proprety within
the flat device tree is incorrect. It has the offset to the
property's name, then the length when in fact (according to
booting-without-of.txt and the output of dtc) then length should come
first, followed by the name offset.
In fact, this structure is never used so the mistake doesn't break
anything, but it should still be fixed to avoid misleading people.

Since its beginning, libfdt has used an incorrect definition of the
format for a property, putting the name offset before length, rather
than the other way around as described in booting-without-of.txt.
This corrects the error, making libfdt actually produce and use trees
which are compatible with the kernel and dtc.

This fixes several small bugs related to fdt_strerror().
- an entry is added to the error table for FDT_ERR_BADLAYOUT.
- Incorrect usage of fdt_strerror() in check_property() and
check_getprop() is corrected (they were passing a positive error code,
when fdt_strerror() expects a negative code).
- Add code to properly retreive an error code from
fdt_get_property() in check_property(). With that a check that the
length returned by fdt_get_property() matches that stored in the
retreived property.

dtc allows nodes to have labels, which at present are just re-emitted
as symbols at the appropriate places when using asm-mode output. It
also allows "references" where the notation &/path/to/node in a cell
list will be replaced with the phandle of the referenced node.
This patch extends the reference syntax to allow references to labels
instead of just full device paths. This allows nodes deep within the
tree to be referenced with a shorter more convenient name. References
to labels are distinguished from reference to paths by the fact that
paths must start with a /, but labels can never start with a /.

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.

This function moves the fdt_strerror() function, currently found in
the test code into the fdt library proper. This makes life easier for
any library users who want to provide meaningful error messages. The
function goes into a module of its own, so that users who don't need
the function won't get a copy of it linked in.

First, this patch removes several underused error codes:
FDT_ERR_BADPOINTER and FDT_ERR_BADHEADER were not used at all and are
simply removed. FDT_ERR_SIZE_MISMATCH was very similar in spirit to
FDT_ERR_NOSPACE, and used only in circumstances where there can be no
confusion between the two, so is removed and folded into
FDT_ERR_NOSPACE. FDT_ERR_INTERAL was used on only one place, on a
"can't happen" check. It seems of little value so the check and error
code are removed also.
Second, the error codes have been re-numbered and grouped roughly by
severity. That is codes which can reasonably occur in normal
operation separated from those which indicate bad parameters (and
therefore a bug in the caller) or a bad or corrupted device tree blob.
Third the test function fdt_strerror() is cleaned up a little based on
these changes.

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.
(cherry picked from 3dffb1808dea6aee6158c92e17faa6ced9b183f2 commit)
The libfdt functions are supposed to behave tolerably well when practical,
even if given a corrupted device tree as input. A silly mistake in
fdt_get_property() means we're bounds checking against the size of a pointer
instead of the size of a property header, meaning we can get bogus
behaviour in a corrupted device tree where the structure block ends in
what's supposed to be the middle of a property.
This patch corrects the problem (fdt_get_property() will now return
BADSTRUCTURE in this case), and also adds a testcase to catch the bug.
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().
The error encoding for pointers is incorrect on machines where
sizeof(int) != sizeof(void *), which includes most 64-bit platforms
(in particular, AMD64 and powerpc64). This patch fixes it.
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.
v17 of the blob format adds a field for the size of the structure
block, but is backwards compatible with v16. This patch introduces
definitions for the new field, and uses it to improve the bounds
checking in the read-only code. It also cleans up the sequential
write code using it: we no longer need to borrow the version field as
a write pointer.
This patch pulls out the logic for finding a string in the string table
into _fdt_find_string(), from fdt_sw.c's find_add_string(). This function
will be useful for random-access read-write functions. In the process
clean up the search logic a little.
This patch adds exported accessor macros for the various flat device
tree header fields to libfdt.h. This necessitates moving some of the
byte-swapping functions.

The range sanity checking on the fdt_string_cmp() function causes problems
for the sequential write code (or at least for using RO functions on an
incomplete SW tree). Plus they didn't really fit with the philosphy for
the RO code of working as widely as possible on weirdly constructed trees.
Without this rather odd constrained pattern rule, make attempts to build
dumptrees using the default %: %.c rule instead of the defined %: %.o and
%.o: %.c rules.

even for ASM output. It was inconsistent with the binary
output form, and kernel folks decided to have the early
kernel perform the reservation itself.
it shouldn't be (because the assembler will do the necessary swapping).
The cell values (asm_emit_cell()) are different from the data values
(asm_emit_data()) because the cell values are generated within the
program and don't get swapped like the data values read from the dts file.
They should be left as they are so that the assembler will swap them,
if necessary. For example, when the property length field was 4,
the asm output contained ".long 0x4000000" and sent the kernel prom.c
dt parsing code into the weeds.
