[PATCH 1/3] libfdt: Add fdt_relative_path_offset

[Ayush Singh <ayush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add helper to allow searching for subnode path given a base node offset.
Behaves the same as fdt_path_offset when offset = 0.

Aliases are only allowed when offset == 0.

+ * fdt_relative_path_offset() finds a node of a given path in the device

+ *
+ * Each path component may omit the unit address portion, but the

+ * level matching the given component, differentiated only by unit
+ * address).
+ *
+ * If the path is not absolute (i.e. does not begin with '/') and the
+ * starting offset is not 0, the first component is treated as an alias.
+ * That is, the property by that name is looked up in the /aliases node,
+ * and the value of that property used in place of that first component.
+ *
+ * For example, for this small fragment
+ *
+ * / {
+ *     aliases {
+ *         i2c2 = &foo; // RHS compiles to "/soc@0/i2c@30a40000/eeprom@52"
