[RFC PATCH v2 38/74] dtc: Change get_node_by_phandle() signature to take dt_info

From: Herve Codina

Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 06:07:59 EST


The future introduction of orphan nodes for addons device-tree will lead
to more than one tree in the addons data. Those trees will be:
- the classical root tree starting at the root node
- trees related to orphan nodes

Also, an addon device-tree can have only trees based on orphan nodes. In
other words an addon device-tree is valid without having the classical
'root' tree.

To prepare orphan nodes introduction, move get_node_by_phandle()
parameter one level up and use dt_info struct instead of the 'root' tree
(i.e. dti->dt).

This change doesn't lead to any functional changes.
