dm: core: Add the ofnode multi-tree implementation
Add the logic to redirect requests for the device tree through a function which can look up the tree ID. This works by using the top bits of ofnode.of_offset to encode a tree. It is assumed that there will only be a few device trees used at runtime, typically the control FDT (always tree ID 0) and possibly a separate FDT to be passed the OS. The maximum number of device trees supported at runtime is 8, with this implementation. That would use bits 30:28 of the node-offset value, meaning that the positive offset range is limited to bits 27:0, versus 30:1 with this feature disabled. That still allows a device tree of up to 256MB, which should be enough for most FITs. Larger ones can be supported by using external data with the FIT, or by enabling OF_LIVE. Update the documentation a little and fix up the comment for ofnode_valid(). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

It would be helpful to use livetree for fixups, since adding a lot of nodes and
|
||||
properties would involve less memory copying and be more efficient. As a step
|
||||
towards this, an `oftree` type has been introduced. It is normally set to
|
||||
oftree_default() but can be set to other values. Eventually this should allow
|
||||
the use of FDT fixups using the ofnode interface, instead of the low-level
|
||||
libfdt one.

||||
oftree_default() but can be set to other values using oftree_from_fdt().
|
||||
So long as OF_LIVE is disabled, it is possible to do fixups using the ofnode
|
||||
interface. The OF_LIVE support required addition of the flattening step at the
|
||||
end.
