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. Patches 1 and 2 can be applied now for 4.14. For patches 3 and 4, my target is 4.15 after all the dependencies have been merged. PPC folks, Please test! The PPC parts are untested. A git branch with all the dependencies is here[1].
PPC folks, any chance to test this? Rob
