Hmm... not 100% sure about what you're meaning with "component names".
At media, some vendors use a cc-like code to allow identifying the
name of the chip, retrieved on a common register via an I2C bus.
Omnivision uses, for example, uses a 2 bytes code:
OV5670_CHIP_ID 0x5670
OV5675_CHIP_ID 0x5675
OV2680_CHIP_ID 0x2680
OV5670_CHIP_ID 0x5670
OV5675_CHIP_ID 0x5675
We used this at the em28xx driver to detect a camera sensor, and give
a name for the chip (see drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-camera.c):
switch (id) {
case 0x2642:
name = "OV2640";
dev->em28xx_sensor = EM28XX_OV2640;
break;
case 0x7648:
name = "OV7648";
break;
case 0x7660:
name = "OV7660";
break;
Yet, this is not too reliable, as, for some products, they use something
different:
OV8856_CHIP_ID 0x885a
OV13858_CHIP_ID 0xd855
OV9640 can either be 0x9648 or 0x9649, depending on its revision.
If you're referring to this kind of code, I don't think we can have
something generic.
Thanks,
Mauro
