I added a new dependency on full_name in:

  [PATCH v4 3/3] of: overlay: add overlay symbols to live device tree

You don't need to fix that -- I knew the removal of full_name was coming
and expected to adapt to that change when it came, so I'll take care of
it.  It will probably take me two or three weeks to get to it, but that
shouldn't be a big deal since the affected code is a new feature that
is not yet used.
