Linux DT community follows the strict rule that they never locally
modify libfdt. In Linux, lib/fdt_*.c are wrapper files to
scripts/dtc/libfdt/fdt_*.c and scripts/dtc/ is synced with upstream
DTC by running scripts/dtc/update-dtc-source.sh
The local code in Linux is separated in drivers/of/.
On the other hand, U-Boot originally had own copies in lib/libfdt/,
and people locally modified them. The code diverged, and made it difficult
to re-sync with upstream.
In 2018, I worked on migrating them to wrapper files, just like Linux does.

This series completes this work.
1/3 migrates fdt_ro.c to a wrapper.
Two years ago, it diverged from the upstream, and gave up resync.
Now, I do not see essential diff.
2/3 and 3/3 separate fdt_region out of the upstream code.
I am resending them after two years since the previous rejection.
It was unfortuate that they were rejected based on the assumption
that is unlikely to happen. They should be re-evaluated.
