Lookup using "pci" as node name would stop at first node with matching
"name" property value. When we assign "reg" property this can break
lookup if there are multiple nodes with the same "name" property value.
To resolve path to correct node the node path must be reloaded after
"reg" property is assigned. "get-package-path" should work.
