[PATCH] lib: libfdt: fdt_region: avoid NULL pointer access

The function fdt_find_regions look in the exclude list for each
property, even if the name is NULL. It could happen if the fit
image is corrupted. On sandbox, it generates a segfault.

To avoid this issue, if the name of a property is NULL, we report
an error and avoid looking in the exclude list.
