The FDT specification [0] gives a requirement of aligning properties on
32-bits. Make sure that the compiler is aware of this constraint when
accessing 64-bits properties.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does this actually mean? That the
pointer points to something that is aligned?

Well it should have made the compiler assume that the address is aligned 
on 32-bits not 64-bits. But I see now that it doesn't. As I didn't see 
the issue anymore iI thought it worked, but it just was my DTB not 
exposing the issue anymore.

Anyway I'll send a v2 with the effective changes.

Thanks.

JJ
