[PATCH 03/35] libfdt: Add support for disabling internal checks

Sebastian Huber sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de

From: Simon Glass <sjg at chromium.org>

If libfdt returns -FDT_ERR_INTERNAL that generally indicates a bug in the
library. Add a new assumption for these cases since it should be save to
disable these checks regardless of the input.
