Allow device tree to be modified by additonal device tree sections

This patch allows the following construct:

/ {
	property-a = "old";
	property-b = "does not change";
};

/ {
	property-a = "changed";
	property-c = "new";
	node-a {
	};
};

Where the later device tree overrides the properties found in the
earlier tree.  This is useful for laying down a template device tree
in an include file and modifying it for a specific board without having
to clone the entire tree.
