Do you expect this to work on DT? It does today, but I plan to change 
that. 'name' is a fake property on FDT.

Again, I think this is all working at too low of a level. Name is used 
either for matching or an informational string. For matching, this 
should remain firmware specific. For imformational strings, 
device_node.full_name works.
