[PATCH v4 06/19] libfdt: Add fdt_next_subnode() to permit easy subnode iteration

Iterating through subnodes with libfdt is a little painful to write as we
need something like this:

for (depth = 0, count = 0,
	offset = fdt_next_node(fdt, parent_offset, &depth);
     (offset >= 0) && (depth > 0);
     offset = fdt_next_node(fdt, offset, &depth)) {
	if (depth == 1) {
		/* code body */
	}
}

Using fdt_next_subnode() we can instead write this, which is shorter and
easier to get right:

for (offset = fdt_first_subnode(fdt, parent_offset);
     offset >= 0;
     offset = fdt_next_subnode(fdt, offset)) {
	/* code body */
}

Also, it doesn't require two levels of indentation for the loop body.
