What alternatives do you see? Parent device name?
I did a scan to see what others are doing, and most have a consumer name
lookup on the struct device (Device Tree or lookup tables):
struct reset_control *__reset_control_get(struct device *dev, const char
*id,
int index, bool shared,
bool optional, bool acquired);
struct iio_channel *iio_channel_get(struct device *dev,
const char *consumer_channel);
struct regulator *__must_check regulator_get(struct device *dev,
const char *id);
struct pwm_device *pwm_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id)
struct gpio_desc *__must_check gpiod_get(struct device *dev,
const char *con_id,
enum gpiod_flags flags);
SPI and I2C use the bus index as lookup:
extern struct i2c_adapter *i2c_get_adapter(int nr);
extern struct spi_controller *spi_busnum_to_master(u16 busnum);
