Hi, After upgrading kernel to Linux 6.6.34 on one of my systems, I noticed "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename" and i2c registration errors in dmesg, please see below. This seems to be related to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-6.6.y&id=4d5ace787273cb159bfdcf1c523df957938b3e42 - reverting the change fixes the problem. Note that jc42 devices are registered correctly and work with and without the change. # grep . /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-*/name /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-0018/name:jc42 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-0019/name:jc42 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-001a/name:jc42 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-001b/name:jc42 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-0050/name:spd /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-0051/name:spd /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-0052/name:spd /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/i2c-12/12-0053/name:spd # sensors|grep -A4 jc42-i2c jc42-i2c-12-1b Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 3000 temp1: +33.2°C (low = +0.0°C) (high = +91.0°C, hyst = +91.0°C) (crit = +95.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C) -- jc42-i2c-12-19 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 3000 temp1: +33.5°C (low = +0.0°C) (high = +91.0°C, hyst = +91.0°C) (crit = +95.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C) -- jc42-i2c-12-1a Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 3000 temp1: +33.5°C (low = +0.0°C) (high = +91.0°C, hyst = +91.0°C) (crit = +95.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C) -- jc42-i2c-12-18 Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 3000 temp1: +33.2°C (low = +0.0°C) (high = +91.0°C, hyst = +91.0°C) (crit = +95.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C) dmesg: [ 0.000000] DMI: Dell Inc.
