Before, it > was platform-capture-subsystem-video-index2. That's a driver problem. v4l_id gets information to build the persistent name from the result of VIDIOC_QUERYCAP. In the case of Exynos gsc driver, for example, the information is here: static int gsc_m2m_querycap(struct file *file, void *fh, struct v4l2_capability *cap) { struct gsc_ctx *ctx = fh_to_ctx(fh); struct gsc_dev *gsc = ctx->gsc_dev; strlcpy(cap->driver, GSC_MODULE_NAME, sizeof(cap->driver)); strlcpy(cap->card, GSC_MODULE_NAME " gscaler", sizeof(cap->card)); snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:%s", dev_name(&gsc->pdev->dev)); cap->device_caps = V4L2_CAP_STREAMING | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M_MPLANE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE; cap->capabilities = cap->device_caps | V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS; return 0; } See that the bus_info there is filled with: snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:%s", dev_name(&gsc->pdev->dev)); >From the output you printed, it seems that the i.MX6 is just doing: snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:"); for some devices. If you change the i.MX6 driver to do the same, you'll likely be able to have unique names there too. Regards, Mauro
