+ * unflatten_and_copy_device_tree - copy and create tree of device_nodes from flat blob

+ * Copies and unflattens the device-tree passed by the firmware, creating the
+ * tree of struct device_node. It also fills the "name" and "type"
+ * pointers of the nodes so the normal device-tree walking functions
+ * can be used. This should only be used when the FDT memory has not been
+ * reserved such is the case when the FDT is built-in to the kernel init
+ * section. If the FDT memory is reserved already then unflatten_device_tree
+ * should be used instead.
