Using the same driver name results in the sysfs warning for duplicated entries like kobject: 'msnd-pinnacle.7' (cec33408): kobject_release, parent (null) (delayed) kobject: 'msnd-pinnacle' (cecd4980): kobject_release, parent cf3ad9b0 (delayed) ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:486 sysfs_warn_dup+0x7d/0xa0() sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/isa/drivers/msnd-pinnacle' ......
