So I go for the simple one and agree with Alexey's idea.
When dealing with a whole device tree you have to know about the various
dynamically generated nodes and props, and handle each appropriately.
The code I am changing fetches the device tree and build an fdt. What is
that special knowledge in this context you are talking about?
Things like /options are dynamically generated.

I thought you would just be able to reuse some FDT parsing code to
implement my suggested new interface.  Maybe that was too optimistic.
