So, like, the other day David Gibson mumbled:
> Currently, fdt_path_offset() returns FDL_ERR_BADOFFSET if given a path
> with a trailing '/'. In particular this means that
> fdt_path_offset("/") returns FDT_ERR_BADOFFSET rather than 0 as one
> would expect.
>
> This patch fixes the function to accept and ignore trailing '/'
> characters. As well as allowing fdt_path_offset("/") this means that
> fdt_path_offset("/foo/") will return the same as
> fdt_path_offset("/foo") which seems in keeping with the principle of
> least surprise.
>
> This also adds a testcase to ensure that fdt_path_offset("/") returns
> 0 as it should.
