Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/4] lib/bootconfig: Fix a bug of breaking existing tree nodes

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Fix a bug of breaking existing tree nodes by parsing the second
and subsequent braces. Since the bootconfig parser uses the
node.next field as a flag of current parent node, but this will
break the existing tree if the same key node is specified again
in the bootconfig.

For example, the following bootconfig should be foo.buz and bar.

foo
bar
foo { buz }

However, when parsing the brace "{", it breaks foo->bar link
by marking open-brace node. So the bootconfig unlinks bar
from the bootconfig internal tree.

This introduces a stack outside of the tree and record the
last open-brace on the stack instead of using node.next field.
