Also, where is that documented? I do not think you can make such a decision, and you will realize that once you begin to think a bit out of the box and look around. See how other children are managed for MFD devices. "driver-subsystem" is a pretty common a schema. I do not really see any point in forbidding dashes currently. Please do elaborate about the reasons, and the fact that why it is undocuemented. Also, I currently do not understand what you are suggesting: just leave this technically unreasonable situation as is for compatibility reasons? There is no better support in place for appending further alternative names? In any case, at the very least, I hope the lesson is learnt for the future from this past mistake. If a chip is MFD'ish, a subdevice driver should not ever be added with such an id. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
