[PATCH v3 03/15] tests: Don't assume the root node is available at offset 0

From: Herve Codina

Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 04:36:31 EST


Several tests uses offset 0 as the offset of the root node. Either to
check the offset returned by tested functions or to directly manipulate
the root node retrieved using fdt_offset_ptr(fdt, 0, ...).

The root node is not always at offset 0. Indeed, a FDT_NOP tag can be
present at offset 0. fdt_root_offset() returns the offset of the root
node taking care of possible FDT_NOP tag.

Use fdt_root_offset() to get the offset of the root node and use this
value whenever the offset of the root node is expected.
