nodes_full_path contains paths to nodes by combining the name of the node with 
the target-path string.
It's generated in overlay_get_nodes_info(). It's a simple <target-path> + '/' + 
<node-path> + '\0'. It does
not have any dt logic as for paths. On the other hand libfdt contains advanced 
logic and can tweak the node
path if needed. So for example if the target-path is "////" and node path is 
"foo@0", libfdt full path will be "/foo@0"
(notice how it got rid of excessive slashes) but our nodes_full_path[foo] will 
be "////foo@0". The only place which can
spot this difference is our check in add_nodes().
