Subject: fdt: Add a function to remove unused strings from a device tree
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f6e2e1ee17bb1ecce03518b8eceda6965617477;p=u-boot.git

fdt: Add a function to remove unused strings from a device tree

Property names are stored in a string table. When a node property is
removed, the string table is not updated since other nodes may have a
property with the same name.

Thus it is possible for the string table to build up a number of unused
strings. Add a function to remove these. This works by building a new device
tree from the old one, adding strings one by one as needed.
