dtc: Don't force alignment of cell list data
At present, defining a property as, say: foo = [abcd], <ffffffff>; Will cause dtc to insert 2 bytes of zeros between the abcd and the ffffffff, to align the cell form data. Doing so seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't believe there are any users who actually rely on this behaviour. Segher claims that OF has some defined bindings which include properties an unaligned subsection of which is interpreted as 32-bit ints (i.e. like cell data). Worse, this alignment will cause nothing but pain when we add expression support to dtc (when celldata is included in a larger bytestring expession, we won't know the size of the preceding chunk of the expression until it's evaluated, so we would have to carry alignment fixup information right through the expression evaluation process). Therefore, this patch kills off this alignment behaviour. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
