In general, I'm inclined to accept this patch as we talked about at plumbers. However, this particular hunk gives me pause as there is still the objection that Russell raised about the (ab)use of r->name for insert the resource name. So, no I won't reject this patch, but I first what to have some idea of what the plan is to migrate away from using r->name. Perhaps we can talk about this tomorrow.OK, sure, let's discuss about that. But I still think that Russell's concern is not related at all with this patch. That means that it should be fixed separately if needed. It can be done before or after, but this is somehow orthogonal to the DT reg-names support problem.
Right, but this patch does add more infrastructure code manuipulating that field, so I'd like to have a plan for fixing the problem before committing this. g.
