Hi Quentin

Ah, you are fixing endian issues. That was not clear to me from the
commit message.

I don't know enough about how DT stores values in the blob. Is there
type info? Can the DT core tell if a value in the blob is a u8 or a
u32? It would be nice if it warned about reading a u8 from a u32
blob.

Anyway, this change still removes some bounds checking. Are they
important? Do they need to be added back?

Thanks
Andrew
