For the record, I don't like "coresight-name". I don't have another
suggestion because "easy" is not sufficient reasoning for why this is
needed.

"name" is just the node name for anything in the last 15 years. They
used to be separate, but would still mostly be the same. The only case
I found with them different was old PowerPC Macs.

Actually, it is without the unit-address. full_name is with the unit-address.

Don't go accessing "name" or "full_name" directly. I intend to get rid
of "name" and generate it from full_name. So use the accessors and
printk specifiers if you need node names.
