dm: Add callback to modify the device tree

Certain boards come in different variations by way of utilizing daughter
boards, for example. These boards might contain additional chips, which
are added to the main board's busses, e.g. I2C.

The device tree support for such boards would either, quite naturally,
employ the overlay mechanism to add such chips to the tree, or would use
one large default device tree, and delete the devices that are actually
not present.

Regardless of approach, even on the U-Boot level, a modification of the
device tree is a prerequisite to have such modular families of boards
supported properly.

Therefore, we add an option to make the U-Boot device tree (the actual
copy later used by the driver model) writeable, and add a callback
method that allows boards to modify the device tree at an early stage,
at which, hopefully, also the application of device tree overlays will
be possible.
