I continue to disagree. The current _byname is an abonimation and hack
to try to "fix" this problem.
_byname should have been implemented differently - rather than overriding
the resources name field (which is _normally_ specified to be the device
or driver name), a new field should have been introduced in struct resource
to carry the resource sub-name (which is really what it is.)
That would have avoided making /proc/iomem completely illegible with
multiple devices using this feature.
