Hi Neil,

Thanks for this patch series!

This doesn't seem right. For one it doesn't act like the other cec_notifier_get*
functions in that it doesn't make a new notifier if it wasn't found yet in the
list.

For another, I think this function shouldn't be here at all. How about calling
bus_find_device_by_name(), then use cec_notifier_get_conn()?

The use of devm_kstrdup worries me. The problem is that when the 'dev' device
is removed, this memory is also automatically freed. But the notifier might
still have a reference through the CEC driver, so you end up with a n->conn
pointer that points to freed memory.

I think it is better to just use kstrdup and kfree it when the last notifier
reference is released.
