d17da65560 fdt: Add functions to access phandles, arrays and bools
Add a function to look up a property which is a phandle in a node, and
another to read a fixed-length integer array from an fdt property.
Also add a function to read boolean properties, although there is no
actual boolean type in U-Boot.

f88fe2ded4 fdt: Tidy up a few fdtdec problems
This fixes five trivial issues in fdtdec.c:
1. fdtdec_get_is_enabled() doesn't really need a default value
2. The fdt must be word-aligned, since otherwise it will fail on ARM
3. The compat_names[] array is missing its first element. This is needed
only because the first fdt_compat_id is defined to be invalid.
4. Added a header prototype for fdtdec_next_compatible()
5. Change fdtdec_next_alias() to only increment its 'upto' parameter
on success, to make the display error messages in the caller easier.

a53f4a29ac fdt: Add fdtdec_find_aliases() to deal with alias nodes
Stephen Warren pointed out that we should use nodes whether or not they
have an alias in the /aliases section. The aliases section specifies the
order so far as it can, but is not essential. Operating without alisses
is useful when the enumerated order of nodes does not matter (admittedly
rare in U-Boot).

This is considerably more complex, and it is important to keep this
complexity out of driver code. This patch creates a function
fdtdec_find_aliases() which returns an ordered list of node offsets
for a particular compatible ID, taking account of alias nodes.

b5220bc6ed fdt: add decode helper library
This library provides useful functions to drivers which want to use
the fdt to control their operation. Functions are provided to:

- look up and enumerate a device type (for example assigning i2c bus 0,
     i2c bus 1, etc.)
- decode basic types from the fdt, like addresses and integers

While this library is not strictly necessary, it helps to minimise the
changes to a driver, in order to make it work under fdt control. Less
code is required, and so the barrier to switch drivers over is lower.

Additional functions to read arrays and GPIOs could be made available
here also.
