Changes introduced in the upstream version of libfdt pulled in by commit
91feabc2e224 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream commit b06e55c88b9b") use
the strnlen() function, which isn't currently available to the EFI name-
space. Add it to the EFI namespace to avoid a linker error.

To align with the existing code, we should use __pi_strnlen here, and
declare the asm version of strnlen with ENDPIPROC()
Yes, you're absolutely right. For some reason I had missed the ARM64
implementation of strnlen() in the grep output. Sent a v2 now which is
consistent with the existing code.
