How does using offsets as devps work if a devp was previously
acquired to a node that has to be moved due to a change later made
in an earlier part of the tree?

It doesn't; don't do that.  I just don't think truly persistent 
phandles are worth the code complexity to implement them.

It breaks the extremely common and useful usage of:

devp = create node;
setprop(devp, "foo", something);
setprop(devp, "bar", something);

BTW, there's code in devtree.c with your name on it that does exactly 
this. :-)
