Names must be unique, but should not otherwise be parsed by applications to extract device location information (at least in my opinion). That information should be reported through a separate new ioctl that would report all kind of static information about entities. We've discussed that ioctl on and off for years (including with ALSA developers), it's "just" a matter of implementing it. > drivers/media/i2c/smiapp/smiapp-core.c | 6 +++--- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/media/i2c/smiapp/smiapp-core.c > b/drivers/media/i2c/smiapp/smiapp-core.c index db3d5a6..2413d3c 100644 > --- a/drivers/media/i2c/smiapp/smiapp-core.c > +++ b/drivers/media/i2c/smiapp/smiapp-core.c > @@ -2543,9 +2543,9 @@ static int smiapp_registered(struct v4l2_subdev > *subdev) } > > snprintf(this->sd.name, > - sizeof(this->sd.name), "%s %d-%4.4x %s", > - sensor->minfo.name, i2c_adapter_id(client->adapter), > - client->addr, _this->name); > + sizeof(this->sd.name), "%s %s %d-%4.4x", > + sensor->minfo.name, _this->name, > + i2c_adapter_id(client->adapter), client->addr); > > this->sink_fmt.width = > sensor->limits[SMIAPP_LIMIT_X_ADDR_MAX] + 1; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
