What system is that out of curiosity ? Also make sure it's not just
Linux being an idiot and stripping the @0 in /proc/device-tree ...

(I think some old versions of /proc code would strip it)

Or is that some insanely broken OF like Apple old world or Pegasos ?

If it's just embedded .dts files, yes, I fixed some, but we might still
have some bad ones.

In any case, we all agree, the right thing to do first is to fix our
path parser to cope either way.

Cheers,
Ben.
