From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx> These three patches add a couple of string functions that have proven useful in U-Boot's copy of libfdt, so they are likely to be useful for other users as well. Patch 1 adds a function to count the number of strings in a property's value. This also adds a new DTS sample along with a small test program to validate the implemented functions. Patch 2 adds a function to retrieve the index of a given string in any given property's value. This adds code to the test program introduced in the previous patch to exercise the new functionality. Patch 3 adds a function to retrieve a string by index from a property's value along with a shortcut for index 0. This extends the test program introduced in patch 1 to validate the new functionality. Changes in v2: - Safely handle non-NUL-terminated values. Uses strnlen() instead of strlen() to restrict accesses to the property value. - Return FDT_ERR_BADVALUE if a non-NUL-terminated value is detected. Note that for performance reasons this doesn't always work. Cell or byte properties can look very much like NUL-terminated strings. The fdt_find_string() and fdt_get_string_index() functions can return a valid index or string, respectively, because they don't look at the complete value to determine validity. This could of course be fixed but the cases in which this succeeds the user did ask for trouble, so I didn't think it worth the extra effort. - Improve documentation and tests.
