Subject: Any acpi_device_id naming conventions to follow?
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:36:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57710FCF.3090908@daqri.com> (raw)

Hi all,
         Is there a naming convention to follow on ACPI device names 
(acpi_device_id) for device drivers?

For TI led lp3952, I would otherwise name it as "lp3952". But in order 
to follow  ACPI/PNP device ID convention, it has to be 7 or 8 char long. 
So is "TLP3952" a valid name?

Should the name be registered before it can be used? If it has to be 
registered, is there a subset of characters which can be used without 
registration?

 From a little bit of googling, I found there is an ACPI ID 'TXNW' for TI,
http://www.uefi.org/ACPI_ID_List?search=texas

So should the device name be "TXNW3952"?

Many Thanks,
Tony
