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@0', which we stripped to 'battery@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@0').  This patch does just that.

This also changes OLPC behavior to use the full result from
package-to-path for full_name, rather than stripping the directory
out.  In practice, the strings end up being exactly the same; this
change saves time, code, and memory.

v2: combine two patches and revert of_pdt_node_name to original
version v3: use dp->phandle instead of passing around node

This addresses one of my comments on v2; but it doesn't address the
comment that the broken implementation of of_pdt_node_name for
non-sparc still remains, or am I missing something?
