Hi Rob,

With dependencies on a statically allocated full path name converted to
use %pOF format specifier, we can store just the basename of node, and

This commit will affect the remaining users of full_name. After
analyzing these users, the remaining cases should only change some print
messages. The main users of full_name are providing a name for struct
resource. The resource names shouldn't be important other than providing
/proc/iomem names.

I guess the plan is to get rid in a subsequent step of all calls to kbasename()
on a full name, which is now futile?

Thanks!
