Hello Marco,

Thank you for the patch.

Maybe compatible instead of name ?

The usual comment style in this file is to start with a capital letter
and end sentences with a period. I would however drop this comment, it's
not very useful. The other comments should be updated accordingly.

Please document all exported functions with kerneldoc.

I would rename the argument __fwnode to fwnode, and rename the fwnode
variable to remote (or similar) to make this clearer.

Is EINVAL the right error here ? Wouldn't it be useful for the caller to
differentiate between unconnected connector nodes and invalid ones ?

Prefixing or postfixing names with types is usually frowned upon. You
could rename this to type_name for instance.

Should we really try to create labels when none is available ? If so
this needs much more careful thoughts, we need to think about what the
label will be used for, and create a good naming scheme accordingly. If
the label will be displayed to the end-user I don't think the above name
would be very useful, it would be best to leave it empty and let
applications create a name based on the connector type and other
information they have at their disposal.

I don't think you need a fall-through comment when the two cases are
adjacent with no line in-between.

If it's not supported we should warn and return an error. Otherwise we
should be silent and return success. Combining a warning with success
isn't a good idea, this is either a normal case or an error, not both.

And I see here that the function is documented. One more reason to move
kerneldoc to the .c files...

This is very unclear, I would interpret that as the remote endpoint, not
the local endpoint. Could you please try to clarify the documentation ?
