The current _byname is an abonimation and hack to try to "fix" this problem. _byname should have been implemented differently - rather than overriding the resources name field (which is _normally_ specified to be the device or driver name), a new field should have been introduced in struct resource to carry the resource sub-name (which is really what it is.) That would have avoided making /proc/iomem completely illegible with multiple devices using this feature. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
