While assigning the sequence number to subsystem instances by reading the
aliases property, only DT nodes names are compared and not the complete
path. This causes a problem when there are two DT nodes with same name but
have different paths. 

Fix it by comparing the phandles of DT nodes after the node names match.

fdt_path_offset() is slow. Could we just add this for the livetree
case perhaps, thus avoiding the speed penalty?

Can you also add a case where this causes a problem?
