      Support ePAPR compliant phandle properties · 05a22ba0
      David Gibson authored
      
      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.
