[RFC PATCH 68/77] libfdt: Introduce fdt_getprop_by_offset_w()

From: Herve Codina <herve.codina@bootlin.com>
Date: 2026-01-12 14:22:06
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The future support for applying a addon on a base device-tree needs to
modify properties retrieved by their offset.

fdt_getprop_by_offset() already exists to get a preperty by its offset
but the property returned is read-only. A writable returned property is
needed.

Fill the lack and introduce fdt_getprop_by_offset_w(), the write enabled
variant of fdt_getprop_by_offset().
