I chose to work on the unflattened form because there were already 
functions to do it.  I didn't see anything that would make manipulating 
the flattened form easy.

I agree that working on the unflattened form would be best.  At a minium 
the /proc/device-tree structure would better reflect reality.

What do you think about adding some helper functions to drivers/of/fdt.c 
for the manipulation of the flattened form?

I think there are too many variants to make this viable.

And I will respond.  Although if I end up modifying the flattened form, 
it will all change.

Weird.  alloc_netdev() does this, so it is not unheard of.

An oversight.

I think I did it this way to try to get /proc/device-tree to reflect the 
new value.

I will consider making that change.

Perhaps.  It really is a three deep nesting though.

Again, done to try to make /proc/device-tree reflect reality.

Thanks for looking at it.  I will generate another version of the patches.
