powerpc/85xx: introduce 'fdt verify' command
I'm wondering if its better to just set the dtb props instead of verifying.
In the long run, I agree. But this code is available now and it could help.
The verify command is easier to implement because it doesn't require that a particular PCI address match a particular PCI node. That is, I search all PCI nodes and all addresses within a node to find a match.
Setting the dtb props would require hard-coded matches between the U-Boot macros and the PCI nodes. It would be a significant amount of work, and each board would need to be updated, I think.
