drivers/of: Avoid recursively calling unflatten_dt_node()

Browse source

In current implementation, unflatten_dt_node() is called recursively
to unflatten device nodes in FDT blob. It's stress to limited stack
capacity, especially to adopt the function to unflatten device sub-tree
that possibly has multiple root nodes. In that case, we runs out of
stack and the system can't boot up successfully.

In order to reuse the function to unflatten device sub-tree, this avoids
calling the function recursively, meaning the device nodes are unflattened
in one call on unflatten_dt_node(): two arrays are introduced to track the
parent path size and the device node of current level of depth, which will
be used by the device node on next level of depth to be unflattened. All
device nodes in more than 64 level of depth are dropped and hopefully,
the system can boot up successfully with the partial device-tree.

Also, the parameter "poffset" and "fpsize" are unused and dropped and the
parameter "dryrun" is figured out from "mem == NULL". Besides, the return
value of the function is changed to indicate the size of memory consumed by
the unflatten device tree or error code.
