The solution I came up with was to amend populate_node() to in a !dryrun block check if the "dad" full_name is /reserved-memory and if so call call a new accessor in of_reserved_mem.c to add the "np" to the reserved_mem object with fdt_node equal offset. This code path is already cluttered due to the version differences when it comes to building full_name and we would end up checking for each node in the entire tree if the parent happens to be "/reserved-mem". So I went for the less intrusive and more straight forward comparison with basename(full_name) instead. Do you have any alternative suggestion of how to do this?
