At present devices use a simple integer offset to record the device tree
node associated with the device. In preparation for supporting a live
device tree, which uses a node pointer instead, refactor existing code to
access this field through an inline function.

Neither uc_pdata->name nor check_name are supposed to be NULL in
_rproc_name_is_unique(). if uc_pdata->name is NULL, we are not
intialized yet, however if check_data is NULL, we do not have
proper data. Further, if either were NULL, strlen will crap out
while attempting to derefence NULL.
Instead, just check if either of these are NULL and bail out.
This should also fix the following coverity scan warnings:
*** CID 132281: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
/drivers/remoteproc/rproc-uclass.c: 73 in _rproc_name_is_unique()

Many System on Chip(SoC) solutions are complex with multiple processors
on the same die dedicated to either general purpose of specialized
functions. Many examples do exist in today's SoCs from various vendors.
Typical examples are micro controllers such as an ARM M3/M0 doing a
offload of specific function such as event integration or power
management or controlling camera etc.
Traditionally, the responsibility of loading up such a processor with a
firmware and communication has been with a High Level Operating
System(HLOS) such as Linux. However, there exists classes of products
where Linux would need to expect services from such a processor or the
delay of Linux and operating system being able to load up such a
firmware is unacceptable.
To address these needs, we need some minimal capability to load such a
system and ensure it is started prior to an Operating System(Linux or
any other) is started up.
NOTE: This is NOT meant to be a solve-all solution, instead, it tries to
address certain class of SoCs and products that need such a solution.
A very simple model is introduced here as part of the initial support
that supports microcontrollers with internal memory (no MMU, no
execution from external memory, or specific image format needs). This
basic framework can then (hopefully) be extensible to other complex SoC
processor support as need be.
