f1879e1a50 Add limited read-only support for older (V2 and V3) device tree to libfdt.
This can be useful in particular in the kernel when booting on systems
with FDT-emitting firmware that is out of date. Releases of kexec-tools
on ppc64 prior to the end of 2014 are notable examples of such.

c8b38f65fd libfdt: Remove leading underscores from identifiers
In a lot of places libfdt uses a leading _ character to mark an identifier
as "internal" (not part of the published libfdt API).  This is a bad idea,
because identifiers with a leading _ are generally reserved by the C
library or system.  It's particularly dangerous for libfdt, because it's
designed to be able to be integrated into lots of different environments.

In some cases the leading _ has no purpose, so we simply drop it.  In most
cases we move it to the end, as our new convention for marking internal
identifiers.

A comment in tests/stringlist.c refers to fdt_get_string(), which is not a
function that exists.  From the content, it's supposed to be referring to
fdt_getprop_string().

A comment in libfdt.h has an extraneous space in a function name.

a33c2247ac Introduce fdt_setprop_placeholder() method
In some cases you need to add a property but the contents of it
are not known at creation time, merely the extend of it.

This method allows you to create a property of a given size (filled
with garbage) while a pointer to the property data will be provided.

580a9f6c28 Add a libfdt function to write a property placeholder
The existing function to add a new property to a tree being built requires
that the entire contents of the new property be passed in. For some
applications it is more convenient to be able to add the property contents
later, perhaps by reading from a file. This avoids double-buffering of the
contents.

Add a new function to support this and adjust the existing fdt_property() to
use it.

8cb3896358 Adjust libfdt.h to work with swig
There are a few places where libfdt.h cannot be used as is with swig:

- macros like fdt_totalsize() have to be defined as C declarations
- fdt_offset_ptr() and fdt_getprop_namelen() need special treatment due to
    a TODO in the wrapper for fdt_getprop(). However they are not useful to
    Python so can be removed

Add #ifdefs to work around these problem.

397d5ef020 libfdt: Add fdt_setprop_empty()
Device trees can contain empty (zero length) properties, which are often
used as boolean flags.  These can already be created using fdt_setprop()
passing a length of zero and a pointer which is ignored.  It is safe to
pass NULL, but that may not be obvious from the interface.  To make it
clearer, add an fdt_setprop_empty() helper macro.

4e76ec796c libfdt: Add fdt_next_subnode() to permit easy subnode iteration
Iterating through subnodes with libfdt is a little painful to write as we
need something like this:

for (depth = 0, count = 0,
	offset = fdt_next_node(fdt, parent_offset, &depth);
     (offset >= 0) && (depth > 0);
     offset = fdt_next_node(fdt, offset, &depth)) {
	if (depth == 1) {
		/* code body */
	}
}

Using fdt_next_subnode() we can instead write this, which is shorter and
easier to get right:

for (offset = fdt_first_subnode(fdt, parent_offset);
     offset >= 0;
     offset = fdt_next_subnode(fdt, offset)) {
	/* code body */
}

Also, it doesn't require two levels of indentation for the loop body.

be6026838e libfdt: Add helper function to create a trivial, empty tree
The libfdt read/write functions are now usable enough that it's become a
moderately common pattern to use them to build and manipulate a device
tree from scratch.  For example, we do so ourself in our rw_tree1 testcase,
and qemu is starting to use this model when building device trees for some
targets such as e500.

However, the read/write functions require some sort of valid tree to begin
with, so this necessitates either having a trivial canned dtb to begin with
or, more commonly, creating an empty tree using the serial-write functions
first.

This patch adds a helper function which uses the serial-write functions to
create a trivial, empty but complete and valid tree in a supplied buffer,
ready for manipulation with the read/write functions.

fdt_appendprop() for handling 64-bit integer quantities in properties.  For
better consistency with the names of these new *_u64() functions we also

73dca9ae0b libfdt: Implement property iteration functions
For ages, we've been talking about adding functions to libfdt to allow
iteration through properties.  So, finally, here are some.

I got bogged down on this for a long time because I didn't want to
expose offsets directly to properties to the callers.  But without
that, attempting to make reasonable iteration functions just became
horrible.  So eventually, I settled on an interface which does now
expose property offsets.  fdt_first_property_offset() and
fdt_next_property_offset() are used to step through the offsets of the
properties starting from a particularly node offset.  The details of
the property at each offset can then be retrieved with either
fdt_get_property_by_offset() or fdt_getprop_by_offset() which have
interfaces similar to fdt_get_property() and fdt_getprop()
respectively.

No explicit testcases are included, but we do use the new functions to
reimplement the existing fdt_get_property() function.

cb650ae143 libfdt: Implement fdt_get_property_namelen() and fdt_getprop_namelen()
As well as fdt_subnode_offset(), libfdt includes an
fdt_subnode_offset_namelen() function that takes the subnode name to
look up not as a NUL-terminated string, but as a string with an
explicit length.  This can be useful when the caller has the name as
part of a longer string, such as a full path.

However, we don't have corresponding 'namelen' versions for
fdt_get_property() and fdt_getprop().  There are less obvious use
cases for these variants on property names, but there are
circumstances where they can be useful e.g. looking up property names
which need to be parsed from a longer string buffer such as user input
or a configuration file, or looking up an alias in a path with
IEEE1275 style aliases.

So, since it's very easy to implement such variants, this patch does
so.  The original NUL-terminated variants are, of course, implemented
in terms of the namelen versions.

1409097db8 dtc: Enable and fix -Wcast-qual warnings
Enabling -Wcast-qual warnings in dtc shows up a number of places where
we are incorrectly discarding a const qualification.  There are also
some places where we are intentionally discarding the 'const', and we
need an ugly cast through uintptr_t to suppress the warning.  However,
most of these are pretty well isolated with the *_w() functions.  So
in the interests of maximum safety with const qualifications, this
patch enables the warnings and fixes the existing complaints.

fc9769ac2b libfdt: Add and use a node iteration helper function.
This patch adds an fdt_next_node() function which can be used to
iterate through nodes of the tree while keeping track of depth.  This
function is used to simplify the iteration code in a lot of other
functions, and is also exported for use by library users.

2cf86939af libfdt: Abolish fdt_offset_ptr_typed()
The fdt_offset_ptr_typed() macro seemed like a good idea at the time.
However, it's not actually used all that often, it can silently throw
away const qualifications and it uses a gcc extension (typeof) which
I'd prefer to avoid for portability.

Therefore, this patch gets rid of it (and the fdt_offset_ptr_typed_w()
variant which was never used at all).  It also makes a few variables
const in testcases, which always should have been const, but weren't
caught before because of the aforementioned silent discards.

9521dc5ecc libfdt: Abolish _typed() variants, add _cell() variants
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.
