[U-Boot] [PATCH] core: ofnode: Fix ASAN-reported stack-buffer-overflow in of_get_address

v2019.04-rc3 sandbox U-Boot fails to boot when compiled with
 -fsanitize=address and linked against -lasan, reporting [1].

Git bisecting shows that the issue is contributed by v2019.01 commit
1678754f5e2c ("core: ofnode: Fix ofnode_get_addr_index function").

The root cause seems to be the mismatch between sizeof(u64) and
sizeof(fdt_size_t) on sandbox. Luckily, thanks to the fact that the
size argument of both of_get_address() and fdtdec_get_addr_size_fixed()
is optional, we can pass NULL in its place, avoiding the problem.

[1] Backtrace reported by ASAN (gcc 8.1.0):

$> ./u-boot -d arch/sandbox/dts/sandbox.dtb
