Duplicated unit address is a normal case, as long as no more than one
node using that address is enabled. Having duplicated addresses is
already allowed by '-Wno-unique_unit_address' in DTC_FLAGS. But two
simultaneously enabled nodes sharing the same address is usually
incorrect. Add '-Wunique_unit_address_if_enabled' flag to report
warnings for such case when doing "make dtbs_check".

NOTE: After applying this patch, a lot of warnings appear on "make
dtbs_check". I'm not completely sure if it's ok, so feel free to Nack.
Hi Rob,

Do you think this patch is feasible? You asked me to send it before,
though I now see it leads to a lot of errors being revealed when doing
"make dtbs" and "make dtbs_check". Please let me know if it's Ack or
Nack -- I'm fine with any resolution, just want to know if I should
continue to carry it in my local branch or drop it.

Thanks!

This is up to Rob.
I do not mind either way.
