From: David Gibson <david at gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Apparently the unchecked return value of the first fdt_next_tag() call in
fdt_add_subnode_namelen() is tripping Coverity Scan in some circumstances,
although it appears not to for the scan on our project itself.
This fdt_next_tag() should always return FDT_BEGIN_NODE, since otherwise
the fdt_subnode_offset_namelen() above would have returned BADOFFSET or
BADSTRUCTURE.
Still, add a check to shut Coverity up, gated by a can_assume() to avoid
bloat in small builds.
