+Subject: [PATCH] Fix discarded const qualifiers
+
+It's unsafe to implicitly discard the const qualifier on a pointer. In
+overlay_fixup_phandle(), this was probably just an oversight, and making
+the "sep" variable a const char * is sufficient to fix it.
+
+In create_node(), however, the "p" variable is directly modifying the
+buffer pointed to by "const char* node_name". To fix this, we need to
+actually make a duplicate of the buffer and operate on that instead.
+
+This introduces a malloc()/free() and an unbounded strdup() into the
+operation, but fdtput isn't a long-running service and the node_name
+argument comes directly from argv, so this shouldn't introduce a
+significant performance impact.
