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. Rob
