I re-worked the API to use the ofnode API and tested it on our board.  I 
was required to explicitly enable CONFIG_OFNODE_MULTI_TREE in order for 
it to work.

I have concerns this will create a breaking change for users of the 
kaslr fdt touch up.  In our case, if CONFIG_OFNODE_MULTI_TREE isn't set, 
the control FDT gets touched up, not the kernel FDT as required.  
Everything runs to completion, but "/proc/device-tree/chosen/kaslr-seed" 
isn't present after boot.

Am I missing something?  Perhaps there's a way to modify the default 
value for CONFIG_OFNODE_MULTI_TREE to ensure this works out-of-the-box?
