fdt: Use phandle to distinguish DT nodes with same name
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. In arch/arm/dts/k3-am65-main.dtsi there are two USB controllers with the same device tree node name but different path. When aliases are defined for these USB controllers then fdtdec_get_alias_seq() fails to pick the correct instance for a given index. fdt_path_offset() function is slow and this would effect the U-Boot startup. To avert the time penalty on all boards, apply this extra check only when required by using a config option. Fix it by comparing the phandles of DT nodes after the node names match, under a config option.
