Hi Athira,

Given this summary, I don't understand the following:

+       assert(dt_find_by_name_substr(root, "node@1") == addr1);
+       assert(dt_find_by_name_substr(root, "node0_1@2") == addr2);

Is this behavior required? I don't think it makes sense to call this function with a second argument containing '@', so I wouldn't expect it to match anything in these cases. The function seems to specifically enable it:

+struct dt_node *dt_find_by_name_substr(struct dt_node *root, const char *name)
+{
[snip]
+      node = strdup(name);
+      if (!node)
+              return NULL;
+      node = strtok(node, "@");

Seems like you could get rid of this and just use name as-is.

I was curious about something else; say we have 'node@1' and 'node@2'. Is there an expectation of which it should match?

    addr1 = dt_new_addr(root, "node", 0x1);
    addr2 = dt_new_addr(root, "node", 0x2);
    assert(dt_find_by_name_substr(root, "node") == ???????);
                                                   ^^^^^^^

+/* Find a child node by name and substring */
+struct dt_node *dt_find_by_name_substr(struct dt_node *root, const char *name);

I think this name fit better in previous versions of the patch, but since you're specifically looking for '@' now, maybe call it something like dt_find_by_name_before_addr?
