[PATCH 2/4] state: warn when a state node will be overwritten

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

People do not seem to know that a state node in the kernel
device tree will be overwritten by barebox. Print a warning
when this happens so that people can get an idea why changes
in the kernel device tree state node do not have any effect.
