Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH v3 04/54] fdt: Add a function to remove unused strings from a device tree

Property names are stored in a string table. When a node property is removed, the string table is not updated since other nodes may have a property with the same name.

Thus it is possible for the string table to build up a number of unused strings. Add a function to remove these. This works by building a new device tree from the old one, adding strings one by one as needed.
