[PATCH v1] board: mpfs_icicle: fix board_fit_config_name_match()

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>
The loop in the icicle implementation of board_fit_config_name_match()
runs strtok() to split off the vendor portion of the compatible string
using , as the delimiter. strtok() modifies a string in place, so where
the first config and compatible do not match, the compatible has been
modified by the time the loop hits the second iteration.
Since stringlists in dt land are null separated strings, the nulls
strtok() inserts to replace the delimiter increase the number of strings
in the compatible list. When the second iteration of the loop calls
fdt_stringlist_get(), it gets the vendorless portion of the first
compatible string, rather than the second compatible string. Copy each
compatible before calling strtok() to avoid this problem.
The temporary string the compatible is copied to is statically
allocated, as attempts to dynamically allocate it at this stage of boot
were met with "alloc space exhausted" errors.
