This needs to be a patch against dtc, sent to devicetree-compiler list
and accepted there, then I can pick it up.

However, you are changing behavior here that I'd guess has existed for
some time. This makes me suspicious that this is correct especially
when it is non-FDT DT you are trying to fix.

Given that 0-day reports an error with EFI stub, you also have to
consider if u-boot, barebox, grub, and all the other libfdt users
provide strrchr.
