You can refer more details regarding @ifname in include/fs.h and include part.h . So, why this interface name must be in characters string? It's actually serving in 2 main purposes, and 1 minor purpose: 1. console environment, most commands using those interface name as their arguments in characters string format such as FPGA loadfs command. 2. These command interface name is one of the characters string argument of fs_set_blk_dev too. 3. As identity of default location and its dev_part configuration. > > > > > > > > Regards, > > > Simon > > > > > > > > > > > + char *devpart;  /* Use the load command dev:part > > > > conventions */ > > > > + char *mtdpart; /* MTD partition for ubi part */ > > > > + char *ubivol; /* UBI volume-name for ubifsmount > > > > */ > > > > +}; > > > > + > > > > +int request_firmware_into_buf(struct firmware **firmware_p, > > > > +       const char *name, > > > > +       struct device_location > > > > *location, > > > > +       void *buf, size_t size, u32 > > > > offset); > > > > +#endif
