Shouldn't DT preserve pdev name and id to allow platform_match to work?

["Cousson, Benoit" <b-cousson@ti.com>]

Hi Grant,

Going further with the usage of OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID, I realized that this is is not doing what I was expecting. My expectation might be silly, but in order to make platform_match to work without DT matching mechanism, you need to have the driver name in the pdev->name field:

	/* fall-back to driver name match */
	return (strcmp(pdev->name, drv->name) == 0);

Except that the of_device_add function is doing that:
	pdev->name = dev_name(&ofdev->dev);
	pdev->id = -1;

Thus overwriting the original pdev->name with the dev_name / bus_id in DT case.

Whereas the regular naming convention with pdev is to have dev_name = <name>.<id>".

Because of that, we cannot match the proper driver name with this entry: 

  OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID("ti,omap-i2c", 0x48000100, "omap-i2c.1", 1, &i2c_pdata)

pdev->id will be properly overwritten after device creation, but not the pdev->name.
pdev->name will be "omap-i2c.1" instead of "omap-i2c".

By changing a little bit the format like that (removing the id from bus_id that is BTW redundant in that case):

  OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID("ti,omap-i2c", 0x48000100, "omap-i2c", 1, &i2c_pdata)

We will be able to maintain the original driver name inside pdev->name and thus match correctly during probe with the legacy method.

Since DT is building a real platform_device, it seems to be reasonable to maintain the legacy name.

Moreover that will allow a basic driver to still probe correctly its devices.

Please find after a quick and dirty proof of concept.

Does that make sense to you?

Regards,
Benoit
