The Devicetree standard specifies an 8 byte alignment of the FDT.
Code in libfdt expects this alignment for an FDT image in memory.
kmemdup() returns 4 byte alignment on openrisc. Replace kmemdup()
with kmalloc(), align pointer, memcpy() to get proper alignment.
The 4 byte alignment exposed a related bug which triggered a crash
on openrisc with:
commit 79edff1206 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
