Hi Marek,

Bringing this to the attention of the DTC people...

And so it did (patch sent for the same bug in r8a77995-draak.dts).

DTC indeed has check_duplicate_node_names.
However, it only works for the base DTS, not for any later modifications in
the board DTS.

I.e. the original dup-nodename.dts in the DTC testsuite triggers an error,
but the modified version below doesn't.
