[PATCH v2 1/3] state: make of_state_fixup() usable outside common/state/

From: Chali Anis <chalianis1 at gmail.com>

of_state_fixup() was static, callable only via of_register_fixup().
Export it so other subsystems can invoke it directly to render a
state instance's devicetree representation on demand, without going
through the global fixup-registration/of_fix_tree() machinery.

While exporting it, teach it to resolve backend nodes that are
top-level "barebox,fixed-partitions" subnodes carrying a partuuid
property instead of being tied to a real, already-probed storage
device node in the tree - the same globally-resolvable-by-UUID
binding drivers/of/of_path.c's of_cdev_find() already supports for
EFI, where devices aren't instantiated from devicetree. Without this,
of_state_fixup() could only find a backend reachable by walking real
hardware nodes already present in root, which such a partuuid-only
declaration never is.
