Re: [XEN v6 02/12] xen/arm: Typecast the DT values into paddr_t

The DT functions (dt_read_number(), device_tree_get_reg(), fdt_get_mem_rsv())
currently accept or return 64-bit values.

In future when we support 32-bit physical address, these DT functions are
expected to accept/return 32-bit or 64-bit values (depending on the width of
physical address). Also, we wish to detect if any truncation has occurred
(i.e. while parsing 32-bit physical addresses from 64-bit values read from DT).

device_tree_get_reg() should now be able to return paddr_t. This is invoked by
various callers to get DT address and size.

For fdt_get_mem_rsv(), we have introduced a wrapper named
fdt_get_mem_rsv_paddr() which will invoke fdt_get_mem_rsv() and translate
uint64_t to paddr_t. The reason being we cannot modify fdt_get_mem_rsv() as it
has been imported from external source.

For dt_read_number(), we have also introduced a wrapper named dt_read_paddr()
dt_read_paddr() to read physical addresses. We chose not to modify the original
function as it is used in places where it needs to specifically read 64-bit
values from dt (For e.g. dt_property_read_u64()).

Xen prints warning when it detects truncation in cases where it is not able to
return error.

Also, replaced u32/u64 with uint32_t/uint64_t in the functions touched
by the code changes.
