[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2 v3] fdt: Add a do_fixup_by_path_string() function

[Chunhe Lan]

The do_fixup_by_path_string() will set the specified
node's property to the value contained in "status".
It would just be a wrapper for do_fixup_by_path()
that calls strlen on the argument.

After all the good advice from Scott et al., the patch turns into a 
pretty trivial one-liner.  I am questioning the advantage of calling
   do_fixup_by_path_string(fdt, path, prop, status);
vs. simply calling
   do_fixup_by_path(fdt, path, prop, status, strlen(status) + 1, 1);

The do_fixup_by_path_string() saves two parameters
   "strlen(status) + 1, 1"
at the cost of Yet Another Function.  Is it worth it?

Thanks,
gvb

     Yes, I think that it is worth.  The encapsulation of function is used
    for that purpose.

    Please refer to do_fixup_by_path_u32(), and it only has two
    lines code.

    Thanks.

I think it's a nice convenience, with no runtime cost.  It avoids any
chance of a mismatch between the string passed to do_fixup_by_path and
the string passed to strlen.

More functions versus open-coding is not generally a bad thing.

Fix where you break the line, should like more like (use upto 75 chars per line):

    The do_fixup_by_path_string() will set the specified node's property to the
    value contained in "status".  It would just be a wrapper for
    do_fixup_by_path() that calls strlen on the argument.

     OK.
