PATCH 2/3 Fix an overflow case in fdt_offset_ptr() detected by GCC 4.3.

Using Gcc 4.3 detected this problem:

../dtc/libfdt/fdt.c: In function 'fdt_next_tag':
../dtc/libfdt/fdt.c:82: error: assuming signed overflow does not occur when assuming that (X + c) < X is always false

To fix the problem, treat the offset as an unsigned int.

The problem report and proposed fix were provided
by Steve Papacharalambous <[email protected]>.
