I wonder what the impact of this might be? So long as fdt_addr_t is at
least as big as phys_addr_t then perhaps this is OK.

But at present, changing fdt_addr_t affects fdtdec_get_addr_size().
Perhaps that doesn't matter, so long as '#address-cells' is respected.

So I'm going to go with:

Could you add some comments about what fdt_addr/size_t are for and
what it means.

The original intent was to avoid using 64-bit values on a 32-bit machine.
