Rob Herring 00257e0cc5 fbdev: offb: Fix OF node name handling 
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")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
