At present libfdt consists of only a C implementation. Many scripts are
written using Python so it useful to have Python bindings for libfdt.
Apparently this has never been attempted before, or if so I cannot find a
reference.

This series starts the process of adding this support, with just a
bare-bones set of methods, to attract initial comments.

Changes in v2:
- Add exceptions when functions return an error
- Correct Python naming to following PEP8
- Use a class to encapsulate the various methods
- Include fdt.h instead of redefining struct fdt_property
- Use bytearray to avoid the SWIG warning 454
- Add comments
- Update tests for new pylibfdt
- Add a few more tests to increase coverage
- Add details on how to obtain full help and code coverage

Simon Glass (4):
  Add an initial Python library for libfdt
  Add tests for pylibfdt
  Mention pylibfdt in the documentation
  RFC: Build pylibfdt as part of the normal build process
