[PATCH 1/5] of: base: add function to check for status = "reserved"

Per v0.3 of the Devicetree Specification [0]:

  Indicates that the device is operational, but should not be used.
  Typically this is used for devices that are controlled by another
  software component, such as platform firmware.

One use-case for this is in OpenBMC, where certain devices (such as a
BIOS flash chip) may be shared by the host and the BMC, but cannot be
accessed by the BMC during its usual boot-time device probing, because
they require additional (potentially elaborate) coordination with the
host to arbitrate which processor is controlling the device.

Devices marked with this status should thus be instantiated, but not
have a driver bound to them or be otherwise touched.
