I agree regarding the patch header.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but a whole change list goes into
the cover letter, not individual patches.

Okay.

Anyhow, I will drop this function, preferring to new
fdt_[address|size]_cells().

I'm not quit sure why it's not that accurate, but as I said in a reply to
David's comment, I will take your suggestion.

I don't mind, but this function may be dropped if Rob sticks to
u-boot's fdt_pack_reg() over my fdt_setprop_reg().

fdt_[address|size]_cell() returns an int.

Okay, I will start discussion, as you have suggested, in devicetree-spec ML.
