Simon Glass 68d057f20d Add fdtget utility to read property values from a device tree ...

This simply utility makes it easy for scripts to read values from the device
tree. It is written in C and uses the same libfdt as the rest of the dtc
package.

What is it for:
- Reading fdt values from scripts
- Extracting fdt information within build systems
- Looking at particular values without having to dump the entire tree

To use it, specify the fdt binary file on command line followed by a list of
node, property pairs. The utility then looks up each node, finds the property
and displays the value.

Each value is printed on a new line.

fdtget tries to guess the type of each property based on its contents. This
is not always reliable, so you can use the -t option to force fdtget to decode
the value as a string, or byte, etc.

To read from stdin, use - as the file.

Usage:
	fdtget <options> <dt file> [<node> <property>]...
Options:
	-t <type>	Type of data
	-h		Print this help

<type>	s=string, i=int, u=unsigned, x=hex
	Optional modifier prefix:
		hh or b=byte, h=2 byte, l=4 byte (default)
