Ah, duh, I was mixing up the fdtXX_t _types_ which were introduced
with sparse annotations with the fdtXX_to_cpu functions/macros which
have been around since forever.

Still, I think looking at the actual exported functions is a better
idea than looking at the types - which I see Thomas has already done
in his latest spin.
