[Bug 1654213] [NEW] fdtdump doesn't ouput correctly

[Hiroshi Takekawa]

Public bug reported:

fdtdump of device tree compiler package (I found in 16.04 LTS and 14.04
LTS) outputs bogus dts.

Would you please consider at least applying the upstream patch below?

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dtc/dtc.git/patch/?id=883238dc508e721db694277c5273a4c3e9a7132f

Test:
Prepare dtb (device tree blob, any dtb would be suffice).

$ fdtdump dtb > dts
$ dtc -I dts -O dtb < dts > dtb.new
$ cmp dtb dtb.new

There should be no difference between dtb and dtb.new.
I tested successfully with the patch applied (and failed with the vanilla package).

** Affects: device-tree-compiler (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
