[PATCH 07/14] dtc: deps: introduce new (virtual) property no-dependencies

[Alexander Holler]

In some cases it makes sense to handle some phandles not as dependencies.

This is escpecially true for 'remote-endpoint' properties, because these
otherwise introducing dependency cycles into the graph. To avoid these,
one end of each remote-endpoint pairs has not to be handled as a
dependency.

The syntax is like

	foo {
		remote-endpoint = <&bar>;
	};
	bar {
		remote-endpoint = <&foo>;
		no-dependencies = <&foo>;
	};

Without that 'no-dependencies' property dtc would automatically add a
dependency to foo to the property 'dependencies' of the node bar.
But with that 'no-dependencies' it will not automatically add the
listed dependencies.

The property 'no-dependencies' is virtual property and will not be added
to any output file.
