names for root swnodes in INT33FE driver and others

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



HI!

During the discussion of some DSA rework [1] I just realized that
names for root swnodes are not required and moreover should be unique
in the system. Looking into the INT33FE driver I'm now asking myself
why we are still using names there (except just convenience for us)?

Note, theoretically it might be possible that one can somehow connect
another i2c device to those Cherry Trail machines (let's say via
USB-to-I2C adapter). And somehow try to register swnode from maybe
out-of-tree driver, however it's not an issue to the official kernel.

That said, maybe better just to remove them where we don't rely on their names?
