Mea culpa.  The patch below fixes a bug I introduced earlier.
Cc'ing the sparc folks, as this probably affects them
(although I would think that it fixes broken behavior for them..?)





From: Andres Salomon <dilinger at queued.net>

Commit e2f2a93b changed dp->name from using the 'name' property to
using package-to-path.  This fixed /proc/device-tree creation by
eliminating conflicts between names (the 'name' property provides
names like 'battery', whereas package-to-path provides names like
'/foo/bar/battery at 0', which we stripped to 'battery at 0').  However,
it also breaks of_device_id table matching.

The fix that we _really_ wanted was to keep dp->name based upon
the name property ('battery'), but based dp->full_name upon
package-to-path ('battery at 0').  This patch does just that.
