fbdev: offb: Fix OF node name handling

Browse source 
commit 00257e0cc5 upstream.

Commit 5c63e407aa ("fbdev: Convert to using %pOFn instead of
device_node.name") changed how the OF FB driver handles the OF node
name. This missed the case where the node name is passed to
offb_init_palette_hacks(). This results in a NULL ptr dereference
in strncmp and breaks any system except ones using bootx with no display
node.

Fix this by making offb_init_palette_hacks() use the OF node pointer and
use of_node_name_prefix() helper function instead for node name
comparisons. This helps in moving all OF node name accesses to helper
functions in preparation to remove struct device_node.name pointer.

Fixes: 5c63e407aa ("fbdev: Convert to using %pOFn instead of device_node.name")
