Actually I started with fixing this the fdtdev level, but then I noticed
that the kernel does this at the of_find_node_by_path level, so if we
fix this for stdout-path only (which a fdtdec patch would do) then we may
get bit by this again later.

Also fixing it at the fdtdec level means adding a strdup + error checking
since then we need to pass a truncated (options removed) copy of the path
to fdt_path_offset(), while with the current patch we can keep using
read only access to the fdt.

So I've a slight preference for going this way. Why would libfdt upstream not
take this patch ?

Regards,

Hans
