I'm not so sure. His observation was just that the typical name of these properties is 'label', which I think makes sense and is commonly used. Naming things is hard. Perhaps, though, an improvement may be made if we lifted this out of the xadc driver and moved it into the IIO core (I can't imagine that this driver is the only one representing each channel with a separate node in DT). > Perhaps an additional per channel attribute called _label which would > allow for board specific labelling? This would seem a bit odd in DT-land; if a user wanted a different label name for their board, they would just rename it in their device tree for that board. Fortunately, with the structured dtsi include files, this is pretty painless to do. Josh
