There's currently an off-by-one bug in fdt_subnode_offset_namelen()
which causes it to keep searching after it's finished the subnodes of
the given parent, and into the subnodes of siblings of the original
node which come after it in the tree.

A patch has already been submitted to dtc/libfdt mainline.  We don't
really want to pull in a new upstream version during the 2.6.28 cycle,
but we should still fix this bug, hence this standalone version of the
fix for the in-kernel libfdt.
