Hi,

Here are patches to fix 2 bugs in the parser. One issue happens
when a key has a siblings and the key repeated with brace after
sibling nodes. Another one is that the parser keeps tailing
spaces when we put a comment on the line.

For example, the minimum example of the 1st issue is here;

foo
bar
foo { buz }

This should be parsed as

foo.buz
bar

But the bootconfig parser parses it as foo.buz (no bar node)
because foo->bar link is unlinked when the brace ("foo {") was
found.

The second one is simpler, if we have

foo = val  # comment

The value's space after the word was not removed.

foo="val  "

But this also should be

foo="val"

If user needs tailing spaces, they can use quotes, e.g.

foo = "val  " # comment


Thank you,

---
