Currently, when in -Idts -Odtb or -Ifs -Odtb modes, dtc always
defaults to using 0 as the value for the boot_cpuid_phys header field.
That's correct quite often, but there are some systems where there is
no CPU with hardware ID of 0, or where we don't want to use the CPU
with hardware ID 0 at all (e.g. for AMP-style partitioning). The only
way to override this default currently, is with the -b command line
option.
This patch improves dtc to instead base the default boot_cpuid_phys
value on the reg property of the first listed subnode of /cpus. This
means that dtc will get boot_cpuid_phys correct by default in a
greater proportion of cases (since the boot cpu is usually listed
first, and this way at least the boot_cpuid_phys default will match
some existing cpu node). If the node doesn't exist or has an invalid
'reg' property (missing or not 4 bytes in length), then
boot_cpuid_phys is set to 0.

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.

Currently, dtc will generate phandles for nodes which are referenced
elsewhere in the tree. phandles can also be explicitly assigned by
defining the linux,phandle property. However, there is no way,
currently to tell dtc to generate a phandle for a node if it is not
referenced elsewhere. This is inconvenient when it's expected that
later processing on the flat tree might add nodes which _will_
the node in question.
One way one might attempt to do this is with the construct:
mynode: mynode {
linux,phandle = <&mynode>;
/* ... */
};
Though it's a trifle odd, there's really only one sensible meaning
which can be assigned to this construct: allocate a unique phandle to
"mynode" and put that in its linux,phandle property (as always).
Currently, however, dtc will choke on this self-reference. This patch
corrects this, making the construct above give the expected results.
It also ensures a more meaningful error message is given if you
attempt to process the nonsensical construct:
mynode: mynode {
linux,phandle = <&someothernode>;
/* ... */
};
The 'references' testcase is extended to cover this case, as well.

This patch adjusts the testsuite to run most of the tests for the tree
checking code on input in dtb form as well as dts form. Some checks
which only make sense for dts input (like reference handling) are
excluded, as are those which currently take dtb input because they
rely on things which cannot be lexically constructed in a dts file.
This shows up two small bugs in dtc, which are also corrected.
First, the name_properties test which was is supposed to remove
correctly formed 'name' properties (because they can be reconstructed
from tne node name) was instead removing 'name' properties even if
they weren't correct.
Secondly, when using dtb or fs input, the runtime tree in dtc did not
have the parent pointer initialized propertly because.built
internally. The appropriate initialization is added to the
add_child() function.

Currently both libfdt and dtc define a set of endian conversion macros
for accessing the device tree blob which is always big-endian. libfdt
uses names like cpu_to_fdt32() and dtc uses names like cpu_to_be32 (as
the Linux kernel). This patch switches dtc over to using the libfdt
macros (including libfdt_env.h to supply them). This has a couple of
small advantages:
- Removes some code duplication
- Will make conversion a bit easier if we ever need to produce
little-endian device tree blobs.
- dtc no longer needs to pull in netinet/in.h simply for the
ntohs() and ntohl() functions

Currently, dtc defines Linux-like names for various fixed-size integer
types. There's no good reason to do this; even Linux itself doesn't

Currently, dtc will put the nonsense value 0xfeedbeef into the
boot_cpuid_phys field of an output blob, unless explicitly given
another value with the -b command line option. As well as being a
totally unuseful default value, this also means that dtc won't
properly preserve the boot_cpuid_phys field in -I dtb -O dtb mode.
This patch reworks things to improve the boot_cpuid handling. The new
semantics are that the output's boot_cpuid_phys value is:
the value given on the command line if -b is used
otherwise
the value from the input, if in -I dtb mode
otherwise
0
Implementation-wise we do the following:
- boot_cpuid_phys is added to struct boot_info, so that
structure now contains all of the blob's semantic information.
- dt_to_blob() and dt_to_asm() output the cpuid given in
boot_info
- dt_from_blob() fills in boot_info based on the input blob
- The other dt_from_*() functions just record 0, but we can
change this easily if e.g. we invent a way of specifying the boot cpu
in the source format.
- main() overrides the cpuid in the boot_info between input
and output if -b is given
We add some testcases to check this new behaviour.

Currently, main() tests if it got a valid input tree from whichever
dt_from_*() function it invoked and if not, die()s. For one thing,
this test has, for no good reason, three different ways for those
functions to communicate a failure to provide input (bi NULL, bi->dt
NULL, or bi->error non-zero). For another, in every case save one, if
the dt_from_*() functions are unable to provide input they will
immediately die() (with a more specific error message) rather than
proceeding to the test in main().
Therefore, this patch removes this test, making the one case that
could have triggered it (in dt_from_source()) call die() directly
instead. With this change, the error field in struct boot_info is now
unused, so remove it.

dtc: Flexible tree checking infrastructure
Here, at last, is a substantial start on revising dtc's infrastructure
for checking the tree; this is the rework I've been saying was
necessary practically since dtc was first release.
In the new model, we have a table of "check" structures, each with a
name, references to checking functions, and status variables. Each
check can (in principle) be individually switched off or on (as either
a warning or error). Checks have a list of prerequisites, so if
checks need to rely on results from earlier checks to make sense (or
even to avoid crashing) they just need to list the relevant other
checks there.
For now, only the "structural" checks and the fixups for phandle
references are converted to the new mechanism. The rather more
involved semantic checks (which is where this new mechanism will
really be useful) will have to be converted in future patches.
At present, there's no user interface for turning on/off the checks -
the -f option now forces output even if "error" level checks fail.
Again, future patches will be needed to add the fine-grained control,
but that should be quite straightforward with the infrastructure
implemented here.
Also adds a testcase for the handling of bad references, which catches
a bug encountered while developing this patch.

At present, dtc makes a lot of semantic checks on the device tree by
default, and will refuse to produce output if they fail. This means
people tend to need -f to force output despite failing semantic checks
rather a lot.
This patch splits the device tree checks into structural checks (no
bad or duplicate names or phandles) and semantic checks (everything
else). By default, only the structural checks are performed, and are
fatal. -f will force output even with structural errors (using this
in -Idts mode would essentially always be a bad idea, but it might be
useful in -Idtb mode for examining a malformed dtb).
Semantic checks are only performed if the new -c command line option
is supplied, and are always warnings only. Semantic checks will never
be performed on a tree with structural errors.
This patch is only a stopgap before implementing proper fine-grained
error/warning handling, but it should at least get rid of the
far-too-frequent need for -f for the time being.
This patch removes the -f from the dtc testcases now that it's no
longer necessary.

It is not an error for /chosen (or any of its children) to be missing.

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 /.
