Hrm, "more intuitive fdt handling" is a bit of a stretch. It makes
certain common operations simpler.

I don't love these names (too vague). fdt_{get,set}prop_global()
perhaps.

You're patching the core libfdt code, so you should make a patch
against upstream libfdt, rather than just the u-boot embedded copy.

This should take a void *fdt like everything else, not a struct
fdt_header *.

Uh.. you should set *lenp to the error returned by fdt_check_header(),
not just assume FDT_ERR_BADSTRUCTURE.

Likewise here you should actually use the error returned by
fdt_path_offset().

Hrm. It might be worth adding strrchr() to libfdt's external
dependencies rather than open coding it here (we already use strchr(),
so it's not a big imposition).

In place changing the arguments is rather nasty.

Hrm. Use of recursion might limit libfdt's usability in
stack-constrained environments - I'd prefer an iterative solution.

Eugh. This horrible ifdef must die.

So.. this adds strncpy() as an external dependency of libfdt, which
should be noted in the patch comment. But, having to copy the path to
a temporary is nasty anyway. Avoiding this sort of thing is why we
have the various _namelen() versions of things internally. I'd prefer
to add an fdt_path_offset_namelen() and use it here than have the
copy.
But then, it might be better not to use fdt_path_offset() inside this
function anyway. You have to step through the path components anyway,
so it would really be no more complex to test for the existence of
each path component one level at a time using
fdt_subnode_offset_namelen().
That implementation would also lead, naturally, to a version of this
function which takes a nodeoffset and a relative path.
