soc-camera re-uses struct devices multiple times in calls to device_register(), therefore it has to reset the embedded struct kobject to avoid the "tried to init an initialized object" error, which then also erases its name. Now with the transition to kobject's name for device names, we have to re-initialise the name before each call to device_register(). Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx> --- Kay, is this an acceptable fix? Or should I rather replace memset(&icd->dev.kobj, 0, sizeof(icd->dev.kobj)); with just some variant of kobj->state_initialized = 0; ? drivers/media/video/soc_camera.c | 6 ++++-- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/video/soc_camera.c b/drivers/media/video/soc_camera.c index 6d8bfd4..0e890cc 100644 --- a/drivers/media/video/soc_camera.c +++ b/drivers/media/video/soc_camera.c @@ -764,7 +764,10 @@ static int soc_camera_s_register(struct file *file, void *fh, static int device_register_link(struct soc_camera_device *icd) { - int ret = device_register(&icd->dev); + int ret = dev_set_name(&icd->dev, "%u-%u", icd->iface, icd->devnum); + + if (!ret) + ret = device_register(&icd->dev); if (ret < 0) { /* Prevent calling device_unregister() */ @@ -1060,7 +1063,6 @@ int soc_camera_device_register(struct soc_camera_device *icd) icd->devnum = num; icd->dev.bus = &soc_camera_bus_type; - dev_set_name(&icd->dev, "%u-%u", icd->iface, icd->devnum); icd->dev.release = dummy_release; icd->use_count = 0; -- 1.5.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
