[PATCH] powerpc/boot: validate compatible entries before comparing them

[Pengpeng Hou]

`dt_is_compatible()` reads a raw `"compatible"` property into `prop_buf`
and then immediately calls `strcmp(buf + pos, compat)` on each string-list
entry.

If the current entry is not NUL-terminated within the returned property
length, `strcmp()` reads past the end of the local buffer before the
following `strnlen()` has any chance to reject the malformed property.

Validate the current entry with `strnlen()` first and only compare
bounded, terminated compatible strings.
