libfdt_env.h should be in include/linux

Hmmm... I wonder if there is a better way to do this.  I don't much
care for the relative path references.

Also, need to have #ifdef _INCLUDE_LIBFDT_H_ protection

This should be in drivers/of/Kconfig

Ditto here; drivers/of/libfdt

This isn't necessary, the kernel already has efficient architecture
macros for converting endianess.

#define fdt32_to_cpu(x) be32_to_cpu(x)
#define cpu_to_fdt32(x) cpu_to_be32(x)
#define fdt64_to_cpu(x) be64_to_cpu(x)
#define cpu_to_fdt64(x) cpu_to_be64(x)

This causes problems.  libfdt is an external library that is
periodically copied into the kernel tree.  It would be better to add
"-Iscripts/dtc/libfdt" to CFLAGS for .c files that want to call libfdt
routines.
