That is something that the of_fwnode_get_named_child_node() needs
to use (would have needed).

Regardless of what we do with that callback, fwnode_name() needs to
return the name in from that for example of_node_name_eq() takes as
the second parameter. So "node-name@unit-address" is not OK. Sorry for
not realizeing that before.

So I guess we need to either get the "node-name" from that full_name
member in of_fwnode_name() (Andy, are you OK with that?), or is there
already a helper that does it for us?


Thanks,
