Add get_parent, create_node, and find_node_by_prop_value to dt_ops.
Currently only implemented by flatdevtree_misc.

Also, add a _str convenience wrapper for setprop.

<title>[POWERPC] Cleanup zImage handling of kernel entry with flat device tree</title>

This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling
logic in the zImage wrapper.

First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for
producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack()
which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr()
which retreived the address of the final blob.  Since they were only
ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new
callback, dt_ops.finalize().  This new callback does whatever
platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device
tree blob, and returns the blob's addres.

Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if
one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel
with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree
itself.  This approach precludes the possibility of the platform
wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever
platform-specific information firmware provides.  Thus, this patch
takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat
tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means).

So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function
which returns NULL.  In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes
that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.

Add the latest version of the flatdevtree code and corresponding glue.

A phandle table now tracks values returned by ft_find_device().
The value returned by ft_find_device() is a phandle which is really
an index into the phandle table.  The phandle table contains the address
of the corresponding node.  When the flat dt is edited/moved, the node
pointers in the phandle table are updated accordingly so no phandles kept
by the caller become stale.
