Shouldn't we care about string length of substring to be checked before
comparision ? The code assumes that it is always within the limit of
position of '@' in node name string. Hence, it returns a wrong node
whose name partially matches with substring passed.

e.g.
With following two nodes in deviec tree (as per your test):
/node at 1
/node0_1 at 2

the substring 'node0', 'node0@' and 'node0_@' all matches with 'node at 1' device
tree node.
Is this expected ?

Also, what do you expect dt_find_by_name_substr() to return for string
like 'node0' and 'node0_' ? NULL or node '/node0_1 at 2' ?

Below additional tests are failing:

	assert(dt_find_by_name_substr(root, "node0@") == NULL);
	assert(dt_find_by_name_substr(root, "node0_@") == NULL);

Maybe we should add few more test checks for "node0" and "node0_" as well.

Thanks,
