Sorry for forcing your hand like this, but this is the kind of discussion I'm not comfortable with (when I need to argue on something I'm not completely convinced of, or I don't have opinion on). > The way I percieved it, a new function > was added, but I guess it could be that the diffstat was so > convoluted in the other patch (by the way that diff sometimes give > very confusing stuff unless you use the right fuzz) so I misunderstood > some other renaming as introducing a new function. Indeed, a new function is added (see patch 2), and this new function is taking an additional 'index' parameter. If that's a problem, I can also change the prototype of devm_get_gpiod_from_child() and patch all existing users of this function, but I fear we'll end up with pretty much the same discussion :-/. > > Please drop the patch if it is controversial. > > The name of the function *is* confusing though but maybe it's not > the biggest problem in the world. I can still name the new function as you suggested (devm_fwnode_get_index_gpiod_from_child()), and keep the existing one unchanged if you want. Just let me know what you prefer.
