The structured tag value definition introduced recently gives the ability to ignore unknown tags without any error when they are read. libfdt uses fdt_next_tag() to get a tag. Filtering out tags that should be ignored in fdt_next_tag() allows to have the filtering done globally and allows, in future releases, to have a central place to add new known tags that should not be filtered out. An already known tag exists with the meaning of "just ignore". This tag is FDT_NOP. fdt_next_tag() callers already handle the FDT_NOP tag. Avoid unneeded modification at callers side and use a fake FDT_NOP tag when an unknown tag that should be ignored is encountered. Add also fdt_next_tag_() internal function for callers who need to know if the FDT_NOP tag returned is a real FDT_NOP or a fake FDT_NOP due to an unknown tag.
