Currently, the Linux kernel, libfdt and dtc, when using flattened
device trees encode a node's phandle into a property named
"linux,phandle". The ePAPR specification, however - aiming as it is
to not be a Linux specific spec - requires that phandles be encoded in
a property named simply "phandle".
This patch adds support for this newer approach to dtc and libfdt.
Specifically:
- fdt_get_phandle() will now return the correct phandle if it
is supplied in either of these properties
- fdt_node_offset_by_phandle() will correctly find a node with
the given phandle encoded in either property.
- By default, when auto-generating phandles, dtc will encode
it into both properties for maximum compatibility. A new -H
option allows either only old-style or only new-style
properties to be generated.
- If phandle properties are explicitly supplied in the dts
file, dtc will not auto-generate ones in the alternate format.
- If both properties are supplied, dtc will check that they
have the same value.
- Some existing testcases are updated to use a mix of old and
new-style phandles, partially testing the changes.
- A new phandle_format test further tests the libfdt support,
and the -H option.

There's currently an off-by-one bug in fdt_subnode_offset_namelen()
which causes it to keep searching after it's finished the subnodes of
the given parent, and into the subnodes of siblings of the original
node which come after it in the tree.
This patch fixes the bug. It also extends the subnode_offset testcase
(updating all of the 'test_tree1' example trees in the process) to
catch it.

This patch adds checks to the checking framework to verify that node
and property names contain only legal characters, and in the case of
node names there is at most one '@'.
At present when coming from dts input, this is mostly already ensured
by the grammer, however putting the check later means its easier to
generate helpful error messages rather than just "syntax error". For
dtb input, these checks replace the older similar check built into
flattree.c.
Testcases for the checks are also implemented.

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.

This patch adds fdt_get_phandle() and fdt_node_offset_by_phandle()
functions to libfdt. fdt_get_phandle() will retreive the phandle
value of a given node, and fdt_node_offset_by_phandle() will locate a
node given a phandle.

This patch makes the helper macros in trees.S use separate labels for
the end of each dt subblock, rather than using only start labels.
This means that the macros can now be used to create trees with the
subblocks in non-standard orders.
In addition, it adds a bunch of extra ; after lines of asm code in
macros, making them safe to use in nested macros.

This patch adds functions for dealing with the compatible property.
fdt_node_check_compatible() can be used to determine whether a node is
compatible with a given string and fdt_node_offset_by_compatible()
locates nodes with a given compatible string.
Testcases for these functions are also included.

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.

At present, the fdt_subnode_offset() and fdt_path_offset() functions
in libfdt require the exact name of the nodes in question be passed,
including unit address.
This is contrary to traditional OF-like finddevice() behaviour, which
allows the unit address to be omitted (which is useful when the device
name is unambiguous without the address).
This patch introduces similar behaviour to
fdt_subnode_offset_namelen(), and hence to fdt_subnode_offset() and
fdt_path_offset() which are implemented in terms of the former. The
unit address can be omitted from the given node name. If this is
ambiguous, the first such node in the flattened tree will be selected
(this behaviour is consistent with IEEE1275 which specifies only that
an arbitrary node matching the given information be selected).
This very small change is then followed by many more diffs which
change the test examples and testcases to exercise this behaviour.

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.
