Hi,

Here is the 2nd version of the series which updates bootconfig to
support mixed subkeys and a value under the same key.
Since the kernel cmdline accepts options like 
"aaa.bbb=val1 aaa.bbb.ccc=val2", it is better that the bootconfig
also support it.

In this version, I fixed [1/4] to show /proc/bootconfig correctly
and update the description.

Changes in v2
 [1/4]:
      - Fix /proc/bootconfig accroding to Devin's report (Thanks!)
      - Update patch description to explain why, not what.
      - Use xbc_node_is_array() instead of checking field directly.
 [4/4]:
      - Update an exmaple code.


This series depends on the below bugfix.

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/162087519356.442660.11385099982318160180.stgit@devnote2/

With this series, sub-keys and a value can co-exist under a parent key.
For example, following config is allowed.

 foo = value1
 foo.bar = value2

Note, since there is no syntax to put a raw value directly under a
structured key, you have to define it outside of the brace. For example,

 foo {
     bar = value1
     bar {
         baz = value2
         qux = value3
     }
 }

Also, the order of the value node under a key is fixed. If there
are a value and subkeys, the value is always the first child node
of the key. Thus if user specifies subkeys first, e.g.

 foo.bar = value1
 foo = value2

In the program (and /proc/bootconfig), it will be shown as below

 foo = value2
 foo.bar = value1


Thank you,
