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 bug was introduced in
commit ed95d7450d ("powerpc: Update
in-kernel dtc and libfdt to version 1.2.0").
A patch has already been submitted to dtc/libfdt mainline. We don't
really want to pull in a new upstream version during the 2.6.28 cycle,
but we should still fix this bug, hence this standalone version of the
fix for the in-kernel libfdt.

Some time ago, a copies of the upstream dtc and libfdt sources were
included in the kernel tree to avoid having these as external
dependencies for building the kernel. Since then development on the
upstream dtc and libfdt has continued. This updates the in-kernel
versions to match the recently released upstream dtc version 1.2.0.
This includes a number of bugfixes, many cleanups and a few new
features.

This incorporates a copy of dtc libfdt into the kernel source, in
arch/powerpc/boot/libfdt. This only imports the upstream sources
verbatim, later patches are needed to actually link it into the kernel
Makefiles.
