Hi,
This is the second version of my proposal for this helper. The first version can be checked here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/5/326
In order to support also ACPI properly, I decided to change the API. The function fwnode_name() is now fwnode_get_name(), and instead of returning pointer to the name, the function copies it to a buffer. I did that because acpica does not offer a way to get a pointer to the node name, and the name is clearly expected to be accessed only with the namespace lock held.
I think this is better approach in any case. It will also solve the problem of getting rid of the unit-address part from DT node names.
Let me know what you guys think.
