Currently the version strings obtained from lib/flash are used as-is for
display only. To usefully compare versions however this strings need to
be separated into at least package name and package version.

On the OpenPOWER platforms from which these versions are obtained there
is a known list of package names, which hostboot_load_versions() now
uses to parse each version string into a new firmware_version struct
containing the name and version strings.

I'm going to assume that the serialising/deserialising code works...
theres nothing obviously wrong but I don't look at that code enough to
spot problems.

Other comments inline.

The talloc manpage isn't super clear about what happens to the pointer
that was passed if talloc_realloc() fails. Doing this with standard
realloc() would leak the 'old' tmp, but this is is talloc, so, I guess
it's never quite leaked, although if ctx for the lifetime of petitboot
its effectively a leak. 

I assume you only call this once (ok twice because of sides) at startup
so it's not like this can cause a leak over time.

*shrugs*

Just adding extra context:

         tok = strtok_r(NULL, delim, &saveptr);
         while (tok) {    
                 /* Ignore leading tab from subsequent lines */
                 tmp = talloc_realloc(ctx, tmp, char *, n +
1);                                                                    
                                                         
                 if (!tmp) {
                         pb_log("%s: Failed to reallocate memory\n",
__func__);
                         n = 0;
                         goto out;
                 }

I see what you're trying to do - so the caller can just
talloc_free(strings);. However, how do the internals of
talloc_realloc() work? will the talloc_strdup() functions which used
different tmp pointers in previous iterations of the loop still be
associated to the new tmp pointer?

I assume you tested this and it didn't blow up so presumably talloc did
something sensible - or there were a few leaks?
