[U-Boot] libfdt: make fdt_increase_size() available to everyone

[Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>]

Dear Kumar Gala,

My concerns are simple: if we need to increase the size of the FDT
because we pull in some random amountof data, we should make sure to
have enough room for this, or fail with a clear error message. 

And we should not try to use fixed sized buffers, but instead adapt
to the actual amount required by the end user.

Timur assumes that all such code and it's sizess will be known in
advance, and I disagree - other users will have other ideas what they
can do with this, and his assumptions will break.

Where exactly is this 0x3000 coming from?

If any board specific code can determine the needed sizes, then how
would such code differ from one board to another?

Why would this in any way be a board specific implementation? This
makes no sense to me. The feature to include some binary data into the
DTB is IMO in no way dependent on or specific to a certain board.
