kexec_file_load() on arm64 needs to be able to create a prop encoded array to
the FDT, but there doesn't appear to be a libfdt helper to do this.

Akashi's code below adds fdt_setprop_range() to the arch code, and duplicates
bits of libfdt_internal.h to do the work.

How should this be done? I'm assuming this is something we need a new API in
libfdt.h for. How do these come about, and is there an interim step we can use
until then?

Thanks!

James
