This does not work right now. I'll send a patch fixing compiling with
OF_CHECK enabled shortly.

Right. Thanks for all the detailed infos in the header. The main issue
seems to be, that this CFI patch uses a function from fdtaddr.c
(devfdt_get_addr_size_index), which unconditionally uses dev_of_offset()
without checking if livetree is enabled or not. This breaks on my
64 bit platform (see below).

Making this change below, works for me:

-		addr = devfdt_get_addr_size_index(dev, idx, &size);
+		addr = dev_read_addr_index(dev, idx);

Maybe we should make sure, that all functions from fdtaddr.c are not
used with livetree active? To prevent similar issues using devfdt_foo()
functions with livetree active.

Thanks,
Stefan
