[PATCH] ARM: omap_hwmod: Fix up resource names when booted with devicetree

Peter,

I will just slighty change the subject since it is a omap_device.c patch and not an omap_hwmod.c one.

ARM: OMAP: omap_device: Fix up resource names when booted with devicetree

Regards,
Benoit

Do we need both this one and your '[PATCH] driver core: Check if r->name 
is valid in platform_get_resource_byname()' ?  Or would that second patch 
be enough?  Is the crash happening in the platform_get_resource_byname() 
iterator?
The crash happens in platform_get_resource_byname(). What I see as a problem
that when we boot without DT the r->name is configured for the hwmods. If we
boot with DT we discard the resources created by the OF (which also have the
r->name configured). We replace the resources from hwmods but we do not fix up
the resource names (which is done in other cases).
I have sent the patch for the drivers core as well since I think it is a good
practice anyway to check for NULL pointer before strcmp().

Either is good, but IMHO we should fix this in omap_hwmod (at least).
Yes, clearly we do have a corner case today due to the mix of hwmod /
DTS resource management.
- Legacy boot + hwmod resources is OK
- DTS boot with DTS resources will be OK
- DTS boot with hwmod resources is not OK since the resource name will
  not be populated in the case resources are not named :-(

If you are OK, I'll take that patch along with Vaibhav one to handle
properly the resources from DTS long with the DTS patches I'm queuing
for 3.7.

Thanks,
Benoit
