Simon Glass 9404fc85ab fdtgrep: Improve error handling with invalid device tree
This tool requires that the aliases node be the first node in the tree. But
when it is not, it does not handle things gracefully. In fact it crashes.

Fix this, and add a more helpful error message.

Simon Glass f403914dfc fdtgrep: Simplify the alias generation code
We don't need to allocate a new region list when we run out of space.
The outer function can take care of this for us.

Simon Glass 1043d0a029 fdt: Add fdtgrep tool
This tool allows us to extract subsets of a device tree file. It is used by
the SPL vuild, which needs to cut down the device tree size for use in
limited memory.

This tool was originally written for libfdt but it has not been accepted
upstream, so for now, include it in U-Boot. Several utilfdt library
functions been included inline here.

If fdtgrep is eventually accepted in libfdt then we can bring that version
of libfdt in here, and drop fdtgrep (requiring that fdtgrep is provided by
the user).

If it is not accepted then another approach would be to write a special
tool for chopping down device tree files for SPL. While it would use the
same libfdt support, it would be less code than fdtgrep.c because it would
not have general-purpose functions.

Another approach (which was used with v1 of this series) is to sprinkler all
the device tree files with #ifdef. I don't like that idea.
