Ah, good catch. I should add a test case for that.

Because child->name and the final component of child->full_name is not
the same thing. child->name has the unit address stripped off. It is
part of how OpenFirmware expects to be used. New drivers are never
supposed to be matching by node name, but I don't currently have a good
way to go through any driver depending on the OpenFirmware behaviour.

Ideally I'd like to get rid of the difference.

Oops, thanks.
