I don't think anyone was talking about converting driver /to/ the _byname method
For drivers that use multiple resources of the same type, converting those to use platform_get_resource_byname() does indeed seem appropriate. By the way, the same IP block design can exist on platforms with different device data formats. For example, the PowerVR SGX core[1] is present on many ARM SoCs and on Intel Poulsbo designs. The Poulsbo systems are presumably using ACPI/SFI *SDT tables. So it seems unwise to couple drivers to any specific external device data format. - Paul 1.
