So, like, the other day David Gibson mumbled:
> Currently, every 'data' object, used to represent property values, has
> two lists of fixup structures - one for labels and one for references.
> Sometimes we want to look at them separately, but other times we need
> to consider both types of fixup.
>
> I'm planning to implement string references, where a full path rather
> than a phandle is substituted into a property value. Adding yet
> another list of fixups for that would start to get messy. So, this
> patch merges the "refs" and "labels" lists into a single list of
> "markers", each of which has a type field indicating if it represents
> a label or a phandle reference. String references or any other new
> type of in-data marker will then just need a new type value - merging
> data blocks and other common manipulations will just work.
>
> While I was at it I made some cleanups to the handling of fixups which
> simplify things further.

Applied.
