But as experience with using this in the kernel has shown using this properly is quite hard since the options itself may have a '/' in them, also see the comment above the new fdt_path_next_seperator helper this commit adds. So this commit, which currently is being used by u-boot, instead simply teaches fdt_path_offset() to just do the right thing when it encounters paths with a ':' in them.I dislike this - it's building into the core path handling something related to how external things happen to glue extra options on there. I also don't see why it's necessary. ':' shouldn't appear in paths, so why can't you just strchr() for the first ':', pass the first path to path_offset_namelen, and the last part to your option parsing code?
When I wrote this (I was a bit slow in submitting it upstream) path_offset_namelen did not exist yet. But more importantly the Linux kernel is also doing the handling of ':' at the same low level, see __of_find_node_by_path in drivers/of/base.c in the kernel, which is the kernel equivalent of fdt_path_offset. So to me it seems best to also handle this at the same level in libfdt rather then expecting callers to deal with this, as that will lead to more and more callers needing to be fixed when the same construct gets used in more places.
