[RFC PATCH 03/12] of: base: record root node in interator and use it for phandle lookup

["Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult" <info@metux.net>]

For detached oftree support, find the root node and record it, on iterator
creation. If we find the root of the global oftree, record NULL, in order to
have a clear distinction between detached and non-detached cases. The recorded
root node is then used for resolving phandles.

Note that in the detached case, phandle cache can't be used, so we have a
little performance penalty on repeated phandle lookups.
