This patch extends dtc syntax to allow references (&label, or
&{/full/path}) directly within property definitions, rather than
inside a cell list. Such references are expanded to the full path of
the referenced node, as a string, instead of to a phandle as
references within cell lists are evaluated.
A testcase is also included.

This adds 'const' qualifiers to many variables and functions. In
particular it's now used for passing names to the tree accesor
functions.

Currently, every 'data' object, used to represent property values, has
two lists of fixup structures - one for labels and one for references.
Sometimes we want to look at them separately, but other times we need
to consider both types of fixup.
I'm planning to implement string references, where a full path rather
than a phandle is substituted into a property value. Adding yet
another list of fixups for that would start to get silly. So, this
patch merges the "refs" and "labels" lists into a single list of
"markers", each of which has a type field indicating if it represents
a label or a phandle reference. String references or any other new
type of in-data marker will then just need a new type value - merging
data blocks and other common manipulations will just work.
While I was at it I made some cleanups to the handling of fixups which
simplify things further.

dtc supports the use of C-style escapes (\n, \t and so forth) in
string property definitions via the data_copy_escape_string()
function. However, while it supports the most common escape
characters, it doesn't support the full set that C does, which is a
potential gotcha.
Worse, a bug in the lexer means that while data_copy_escape_string()
can handle the \" escape, a string with such an escape won't lex
correctly.
This patch fixes both problems, extending data_copy_escape_string() to
support the missing escapes, and fixing the regex for strings in the
lexer to handle internal escaped quotes.
This also adds a testcase for string escape functionality.

In the dtc tree, both flat_dt.h and libfdt/fdt.h have structures and
constants relating to the flattened device tree format derived from
asm-powerpc/prom.h in the kernel. The former is used in dtc, the
latter in libfdt.
libfdt/fdt.h is the more recent, revised version, so use that
throughout, removing flat_dt.h.

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.

When adding a label, walk to the end of the list since the
label reflects the end of the data.
Since merging data buffers already preserved the order, this
will cause the labels to be emitted in order when writing
assembly output.
It should also aid emiting labels when writing dts output
should that be added in the future (data formatting would
need to break at each label).

Extend the parser grammer to allow labels before or after any
property data (string, cell list, or byte list), and any
byte or cell within the property data.
Store the labels using the same linked list structure as node
references, but using a parallel list.
When writing assembly output emit global labels as offsets from
the start of the definition of the data.
Note that the alignment for a cell list is done as part of the
opening < delimiter, not the = or , before it. To label a cell
after a string or byte list put the label inside the cell list.
For example,
prop = zero: [ aa bb ], two: < four: 1234 > eight: ;
will produce labels with offsets 0, 2, 4, and 8 bytes from
the beginning of the data for property prop.

Change the grow_data_for function to copy struct data and
modifiy the fields it is updating instead of storing all
fields individually to a stack allocated struct.
This reduces maintence for future enhancements as now all
instances of struct data are created by modifying a copy
of an existing struct data or directly copying empty_data.

New syntax d#, b#, o# and h# allow for an explicit prefix
on cell values to specify their base. Eg: <d# 123>

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.
