libfdt: Warnings of signed/unsigned comparison

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi all,

enabling binman pulls in libfdt, and that seems to have a lot of issues 
with comparing signed with unsigned values. Those are present upstream 
as well (dtc in general doesn't build with -Wsign-compare).

Is anyone looking into this already? Fix upstream? Can we ignore this 
downstream for the time being?
