Commit f18295d3837c282f (fdt_support: fix an endian bug of
fdt_fixup_memory_banks) changed fdt_fixup_memory_banks cell writing from a
byte at a time to casting the buffer pointer to a 64-bit pointer. This can
result in unaligned accesses when there is a mixture of cell sizes of 1
and 2.

Should that be 739a01ed8e0?

What will this do with 32-bit values? Aren't use assuming that the
first 32-bit word of 'cell' will contain the least significant 32
bits? Is that always true? I'm not quite sure.

Also I really thing this needs a test. It's a pretty simple function
so a unit test would be easy to write.

We've already done the endian conversion, so we're just copying a
string of bytes only changing the alignment potentially.

I'll look into that.

Yes I think you are right. Then I suggest adding a comment here, as
memcpy() from a native type is unusual.

See test/command_ut.c for one way to do this with sandbox by adding a
new command.

Better yet, use put_unaligned().
