[Issue] A format of variable name has been updated to type, id, count and ctime to support holding multiple logs. Format of current variable name dump-type0-1-2-12345678 type:0 id:1 count:2 ctime:12345678 On the other hand, if an old variable name before being updated remains, users can't read it via /dev/pstore. Format of old variable name dump-type0-1-12345678 type:0 id:1 ctime:12345678 [Solution] This patch adds a format check for the old variable name in a read callback to make it readable.
