Currently, callers of fdt_next_tag() must usually follow the call with
some sort of call to fdt_offset_ptr() to verify that the blob isn't
truncated in the middle of the tag data they're going to process.
This is a bit silly, since fdt_next_tag() generally has to call
fdt_offset_ptr() on at least some of the data following the tag for
its own operation.
This patch alters fdt_next_tag() to always use fdt_offset_ptr() to
verify the data between its starting offset and the offset it returns
in nextoffset. This simplifies fdt_get_property() which no longer has
to verify itself that the property data is all present.
At the same time, I neaten and clarify the error handling for
fdt_next_tag(). Previously, fdt_next_tag() could return -1 instead of
a tag value in some circumstances - which almost none of the callers
checked for. Also, fdt_next_tag() could return FDT_END either because
it encountered an FDT_END tag, or because it reached the end of the
structure block - no way was provided to tell between these cases.
With this patch, fdt_next_tag() always returns FDT_END with a negative
value in nextoffset for an error. This means the several places which
loop looking for FDT_END will still work correctly - they only need to
check for errors at the end. The errors which fdt_next_tag() can
report are:
- -FDT_ERR_TRUNCATED if it reached the end of the structure
block instead of finding a tag.
- -FDT_BADSTRUCTURE if a bad tag was encountered, or if the
tag data couldn't be verified with fdt_offset_ptr().
This patch also updates the callers of fdt_next_tag(), where
appropriate, to make use of the new error reporting.
Finally, the prototype for the long gone _fdt_next_tag() is removed
from libfdt_internal.h.

libfdt is supposed to easy to embed in projects all and sundry.
Often, it won't be practical to separate the embedded libfdt's
namespace from that of the surrounding project. Which means there can
be namespace conflicts between even libfdt's internal/static functions
and functions or macros coming from the surrounding project's headers
via libfdt_env.h.
This patch, therefore, renames a bunch of libfdt internal functions
and macros and makes a few other chances to reduce the chances of
namespace collisions with embedding projects. Specifically:
- Internal functions (even static ones) are now named _fdt_*()
- The type and (static) global for the error table in
fdt_strerror() gain an fdt_ prefix
- The unused macro PALIGN is removed
- The memeq and streq macros are removed and open-coded in the
users (they were only used once each)
- Other macros gain an FDT_ prefix
- To save some of the bulk from the previous change, an
FDT_TAGALIGN() macro is introduced, where FDT_TAGALIGN(x) ==
FDT_ALIGN(x, FDT_TAGSIZE)

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.

This patch turns on the -Wpointer-arith option in the dtc Makefile,
and fixes the resulting warnings due to using (void *) in pointer
arithmetic. While convenient, pointer arithmetic on void * is not
portable, so it's better that we avoid it, particularly in libfdt.
Also add necessary definition of uintptr_t needed by David Gibson's
changeset "dtc: Enable and fix -Wpointer-arith warnings" (the definition
comes from stdint.h, which u-boot doesn't have). -- gvb

This patch makes a couple of small cleanups to parameter checking of
libfdt functions.
- In several functions which take a node offset, we use an
idiom involving fdt_next_tag() first to check that we have indeed been
given a node offset. This patch adds a helper function
_fdt_check_node_offset() to encapsulate this usage of fdt_next_tag().
- In fdt_rw.c in several places we have the expanded version
of the RW_CHECK_HEADER() macro for no particular reason. This patch
replaces those instances with an invocation of the macro; that's what
it's for.
- In fdt_sw.c we rename the check_header_sw() function to
sw_check_header() to match the analgous function in fdt_rw.c, and we
provide an SW_CHECK_HEADER() wrapper macro as RW_CHECK_HEADER()
functions in fdt_rw.c

Currently the CHECK_HEADER() macro is defined local to fdt_ro.c.
However, there are a handful of functions (fdt_move, rw_check_header,
fdt_open_into) from other files which could also use it (currently
they open-code something more-or-less identical). Therefore, this
patch moves CHECK_HEADER() to libfdt_internal.h and uses it in those
places.

Update libfdt to commit 8eaf5e358366017aa2e846c5038d1aa19958314e from
the device tree compiler (dtc) project.

Enhanced the formerly private function _fdt_next_tag() to allow stepping
through the tree, used to produce a human-readable dump, and made
it part of the published interface.
Also added some comments.
