state: use name of device node as name if alias is not available ...

Wihtout this patch, when using more than one state device an alias is
mandatory, otherwise the there will be two state devices with the name state.

This patch fixes the limitation by using the device node's name if no alias is
defined.

state: backend: support phandle and of_path references ...

This patch improves the backend property, it can be either a phandle or a
of_path. During probe() of the state driver the backend property is
dereferenced and the resulting of_path is saved in the state context. In a
later patch it will be used to generate a phandle reference to the backend
during DT fixup.

of_path: of_find_path(): add possibility to return .bb device ...

This patch adds a flags argument to the of_find_path() function. The only flag
defined for now is OF_FIND_PATH_FLAGS_BB. When used on NAND devices, the
function returns the bad block aware device (the ".bb" device).

state: add framework for persistent state handling ...

This patch adds a framework to describe, access, store and restore a set of
variables. A state variable set can be fully described in a devicetree node.
This node could be part of the regular devicetree blob or it could be an extra
devicetree solely for the state. The state variable set contains variables of
different types and a place to store the variable set.

For more information see:
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/barebox/barebox,state.rst
