[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Cope with duplicate node & property names in /proc/device-tree

Various dodgy firmware might give us nodes and/or properties in the device
tree with conflicting names. That's generally ok, except for when we export
the device tree via /proc, so check when we're creating the proc device tree
and munge names accordingly.

Tested on a faked device tree with kexec, would be good if someone with
actual bogus firmware could try it, but just for completeness.
