Regression on Integrator after commit 07e461cd7

Hi Grant,

The Integrators are not booting after commit
07e461cd7e73a84f0e3757932b93cc80976fd749
"of: Ensure unique names without sacrificing determinism"

i.e. these device trees:
arch/arm/boot/dts/integratorap.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/integratorcp.dts

It hangs very early boot at one time with the message:
Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant (0x41069262).

Reverting that patch (manually) makes the platform boot again,
so it's definately caused by that.

Can you see what is wrong with these device trees, like if it's
something obvious that the code is not expecting? It's like
it cannot build the tree or something.

My revert does not look very nice but looks like this:

I have no real idea of how the OF core works so I'm a bit in the blue
here :-/

Any help appreciated!
