You're still using memory allocated for a mt6397 device.the variable is currently defined as struct mt6397_chip *mt6397; shall i only change the name or also create a patch to rename the struct ?I think we should rename the struct and the file as well. Cheers, MatthiasHi, that would have been my next question. renaming the struct would imply renaming the driver and the whole namespace contained within. We would then also need to change the Kconfig and Makefile. I am happy to do this but want to be sure that is is actually wanted. JohnHi, Since mt6323 was similar with mt6397, I think we can reuse the mt6397_chip without duplicate code. Maybe we can rename the local variable name to avoid confusing. struct mt6397_chip *mt_pmic; ... ... switch (id & 0xff) { case MT6323_CID_CODE: mt_pmic->int_con[0] = MT6323_INT_CON0; mt_pmic->int_con[1] = MT6323_INT_CON1; ... ... HenryHi, IMHO we should either rename the namespace or not. renaming some variables seems weird as that will just move the confusion/inconsistency to another place in the code. I am however rather indifferent on this matter.It's common to name a driver after the device which was enabled first, so no need to rename the files or CONFIGs; however, it does seem prudent to generify the struct (both parts).
Hi, renaming struct mt6397_chip is not as straightforward as it seems as other drivers such as pinctrl and rtc share the data structure with the mfd driver. i have kept the structs name as is for now and only renamed the instance. If you want i can create a separate series that addresses only the renaming of the structure. The "rename struct mt6397" patch would need to do a change to drivers from 3 subsystems in 1 single commit as not to break compile and merge order. John
