Current device name is picked from pdev->name, coming from cell->name. pdev->name is sometimes used to match driver so cannot be changed. Add cell->devname field to let MFDs configure their sub-devices names using newly introduced platform_device_add_with_name(). This comes in handy when MFDs instantiate the same platform driver. First solution is to use auto IDs: // MFD device A generates sub-device named "foo.0.auto" struct mfd_cell cell = { .name = "foo" }; mfd_add_devices(dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO, &cell, 1, ...); // MFD device B generates sub-device named "foo.1.auto" struct mfd_cell cell = { .name = "foo" }; mfd_add_devices(dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO, &cell, 1, ...); An alternative is to manually pick IDs using cell->id: // MFD device A generates sub-device named "foo.0" struct mfd_cell cell = { .name = "foo", .id = 0 }; mfd_add_devices(dev, 0, &cell, 1, ...); // MFD device B generates sub-device named "foo.1" struct mfd_cell cell = { .name = "foo", .id = 1 }; mfd_add_devices(dev, 0, &cell, 1, ...); Devices still have obscure names. With changes, two MFD devices can do: // MFD device A generates sub-device named "foo-a" struct mfd_cell cell = { .name = "foo", .devname = "foo-a" }; mfd_add_devices(dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE, &cell, 1, ...); // MFD device B generates sub-device named "foo-b" struct mfd_cell cell = { .name = "foo", .devname = "foo-b" }; mfd_add_devices(dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE, &cell, 1, ...); Device names are explicit and facilitate identification. Benefit increases with more instances. No shorthand MFD_CELL_*() macro is created to exploit this field.
