[dtc RFC PATCH] Enforce node name unit-address presence/absence

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>

ePAPR 1.1 section 2.2.1.1 "Node Name Requirements" specifies that any
node that has a reg property must include a unit address in its name
with value matching the first entry in its reg property. Conversely, if
a node does not have a reg property, the node name must not include a
unit address.

Implement a check for this. The code doesn't validate the format of the
unit address; ePAPR implies this may vary from binding to binding, so
I'm not sure that it's possible to validate the value itself.

This depends on my previous patch "Ensure all tests have matching reg
and unit address".

Note that this patch should not yet be applied; it will cause many real-
world *.dts files to fail to compile. Those need to be fixed first.
However, if/when that happens, this patch may be useful.
