This is taken here:
http://git.secretlab.ca/?p=linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=04f51955dc690666467252015a931d71d5c56696

and it is pending for upstream.

With the above patch, both pdev->name and pdev->id can be set as per
hwmod requirement through aux_data
lookup table. we might have to append pdev->id to pdev->name so that
it can used for device look up in the hwmod
device list.
