Subject: [PATCH v6 2/4] kho: rename fdt parameter to blob in
 kho_add/remove_subtree()

Since kho_add_subtree() now accepts arbitrary data blobs (not just
FDTs), rename the parameter from 'fdt' to 'blob' to better reflect
its purpose. Apply the same rename to kho_remove_subtree() for
consistency.

Also rename kho_debugfs_fdt_add() and kho_debugfs_fdt_remove() to
kho_debugfs_blob_add() and kho_debugfs_blob_remove() respectively,
with the same parameter rename from 'fdt' to 'blob'.

Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@...ian.org>
