Commit 509b7455 (of/fdt: Don't copy garbage after "/" in root node path)
sets the path length to 0 to ignore any garbage after "/" in the root
node path. This has the side effect of also ignoring '\0' at the end of
the root node path. This patch sets the ignores the garbage by setting
the last character to '\0' and length to 1.

The patch is against linux-next, not sure whether mainline will get the
same commit number. Please feel free to fold it into the original patch,
whichever is easier. Without this I can't boot arm64, doesn't populate
the platform devices.
