libfdt: Add function to explicitly expand aliases
Kumar has already added alias expansion to fdt_path_offset(). However, in some circumstances it may be convenient for the user of libfdt to explicitly get the string expansion of an alias. This patch adds a function to do this, fdt_get_alias(), and uses it to implement fdt_path_offset(). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
