(!len) is true if the the final character of the path passed into of_find_node_by_path()
was "/". Strictly speaking, ->full_name will never end with "/", so the return value
should be NULL, indicating that the match fails.

Why go to the effort of finding the final component of child->full_name instead
of just using child->name?

Delete the old @path description.
