Right, and there's no problem at all with using the name.  The thing is
that there's no need to set the name at runtime since the struct device
being configured is always going to end up with the same name and doing
so is just causing confusion.  The device being registered is specific
to the SoC already so setting the SoC name at runtime isn't needed.

I think I did not understand your point. There is only one instance of
spi platform device statically defined for all Samsung platforms. The

No there isn't.  You've got things like s3c64xx_device_spi0 in
arch/arm/plat-samsung/devs.c (which you'd expect since the resources
that are passed in for memory mapping, DMA and interrupt vary with the
SoC).  The bit of code I was querying just changes "s3c64xx-spi" to
"s3c6410-spi" at runtime in that structure which seems like a waste of
time.
