Thanks.  The fdt_del_node approach works pretty nicely.  I added a
dt_ops hook since fdt is static in libfdt-wrapper.c.

At first I tried fdt_nop_node, fearing that find_node_by_prop_value()
and fdt_del_node() would interact badly when deleting in mid-traversal,
but it turns out that fdt_nop_node() upsets find_node_by_prop_value()
anyway.  Plus, the kernel prints harmless but strange messages when
there are NOPs in the tree.  So I use fdt_del_node() and rescan from
the top each time I delete a node and it works fine.

        /* Find all product-dependent nodes and delete inapplicable ones. */
        dev = NULL;
        while ((dev = find_node_by_prop_value(dev,
                                              "product-dependent",
                                              "", 0)) != NULL) {
                u32 mask;
                int len;

                len = getprop(dev, "productmask", &mask, sizeof mask);
                if (len == sizeof mask) {
                        if ((mask & (1 << product_id)) == 0) {
                                del_node(dev);
                                /* Have to restart from the beginning. */
                                dev = NULL;
                        }
                }
        }

I had to fix the memcmp bug I mentioned in an earlier posting to allow
searching for a boolean (empty) property.

If anyone cares, below is a trivial patch to expose the del_node()
operation via dt_ops.

Thanks again,
