I find ddi_node_name() to be pretty useless. That's because firmware
often assigns "generic" names to nodes in the device tree. For example,
"ethernet" is a common node name on SPARC systems -- and is used for
nodes that have very different device drivers. (The firmware looks at
the PCI class to make the name in some instances.) ddi_binding_name()
is more useful if you want the alias used to bind the driver, and
ddi_driver_name() is probably more useful in other places. (driver and
instance number are unique.)
