This series is the last steps to remove storing the full path for every
DT node. Instead, we can create full path strings dynamically as needed
with printf %pOF specifiers (commit ce4fecf1fe15). There are a number of
remaining direct users of full_name after this series. I don't believe
there should be any functional impact for those users with the change to
only the node name (+unit-address). The majority are for struct
resource.name. This should only affect /proc/iomem display.
I added a new dependency on full_name in:

  [PATCH v4 3/3] of: overlay: add overlay symbols to live device tree

You don't need to fix that -- I knew the removal of full_name was coming
and expected to adapt to that change when it came, so I'll take care of
it.  It will probably take me two or three weeks to get to it, but that
shouldn't be a big deal since the affected code is a new feature that
is not yet used.
Indeed, I had fixed up the print statements, but missed that. Thanks
for the heads up.
