[PATCH v2 2/3] state: don't keep pointers to device tree nodes

Caching pointers to device tree nodes or is not save. The barebox internal
device tree may be changed by loading a new device tree or through fixup
handlers. As a result, the node may be deleted and replaced with a new one.
Keep a copy of the full path instead and resolve the node as needed.
