In addition to my comment about changing the tree order on the last
patch, unfortunately this patch will also break the newly added
of_fdt_unflatten_tree().  of_fdt_unflatten_tree() allows a driver to
unflatten a private dtb for its own use without it being attached to
the global tree or the global list of all nodes.  I had also forgotten
about this.  Shoot.

The solution would be a variant of of_attach_node which accepts a
private allnodes pointer.  That would also help with the ordering
issues because the order of the list could be explicitly reversed
before assigning the value to the real allnodes pointer.  Another
possible option would be an optional 'tail' pointer argument to
of_attach_node() which if present it would use as the insertion point
for adding the node, which would preserve the current sort order.
