Pretty much a self nit on myself since I just copied the device node name field
from your initial patch into my suggested code block.

It used to be that dn->full_name was intended to store the full device-tree path
name of the device node ane dn->name simply the base name. These days the values
of both name fields are simply the basename for pseries. Regardless,
rd->dn->name is technically correct and shorter.
