Specifying the name of the nvmem device while registering it with the nvmem framework has the side effect of causing the second instance of a device using this driver to fail probe with the following error message: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/nvmem/devices/spmi_sdam' Removing the name allows the nvmem framework to assign a monotonically increasing integer id to each instance of this driver automatically, like so: /sys/bus/nvmem/devices # ls nvmem0 nvmem1 nvmem2 Signed-off-by: Guru Das Srinagesh <gurus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c b/drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c index 8682cda..6275f14 100644 --- a/drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c +++ b/drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only /* - * Copyright (c) 2017 The Linux Foundation.
