 On FreeBSD we don't have fdtget as part as our base system and it's
not available in the ports (well now it is).
 For now we simply don't depend on CONFIG_SPL_OF_PLATDATA to compile
the swig bindings as it's faster to compile/use it than using fdtget.
 Maybe this patch
https://people.freebsd.org/~manu/uboot/2017.01/0001-build-Always-build-the-libfdt-python-module.patch
make sense to be upstream in u-boot ?
 It doesn't take that long to compile the bindings and there is still
the check on the presence of the swig binary.

 Thanks,
