[PATCH v3 12/15] libfdt: Introduce fdt_getprop_offset_namelen()

From: Herve Codina

Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 04:39:51 EST


Future operations, such as handling unknown tags on dtb modifications,
need to get an offset to a property based on the node offset and the
property name.

Several function exists to get a property based on the node offset
and the property name but none of them allows to get the property
offset.

Fill the lack and introduce fdt_getprop_offset_namelen() and its
simple variant fdt_getprop_offset().
