The current code will, if we do not specify unique labels for the SRAM subnodes, fail to register several nodes named the same. Example: sram@40020000 { (...) sram@0 { (...) }; sram@1000 { (...) }; }; Since the child->name in both cases will be "sram" the gen_pool_create() will fail because the name is not unique. Use dev_name() for the device as this will have bus ID set to the fully translated address for the node, and that will always be unique.
