Looks like you are using this to calculate how much space you need to
allocate in addition to the current DTB for a couple of new or
replaced properties. I'm not sure that this calculation is completely
accurate. And it is strange there doesn't seem to be any libfdt
function for this already. It would be simpler to just add some fixed
additional amount.

Maybe David G has comments on this?

The rest of this should go in drivers/of/fdt_address.c. Ultimately, it
should go into libfdt, but I'm fine with having it in the kernel for
now.

This is kind of hard to read. I would copy u-boot's fdt_pack_reg function.

BTW, for purposes of moving to libfdt, we'll need the authors'
(Masahiro Yamada and Hans de Goede) permission to dual license.
