Hi,

This patch set addresses warnings that module names are named the
same, this may lead to a problem that wrong module gets loaded or if one
of the two same-name modules exports a symbol, this can confuse the
dependency resolution. and the build may fail.


Patch "drivers: net: dsa: realtek: fix warning same module names" and
"drivers: net: phy: realtek: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch realtek.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/net/phy/realtek.ko
  drivers/net/dsa/realtek.ko


Patch  "drivers: (video|gpu): fix warning same module names" resolves
the name clatch mxsfb.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/video/fbdev/mxsfb.ko
  drivers/gpu/drm/mxsfb/mxsfb.ko

Patch "drivers: media: i2c: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch adv7511.ko however, it seams to refer to the same device
name in i2c_device_id, does anyone have any guidance how that should be
solved?

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/adv7511.ko
  drivers/media/i2c/adv7511.ko


Patch "drivers: media: coda: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch coda.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  fs/coda/coda.ko
  drivers/media/platform/coda/coda.ko

Media change look ok, and probably the other patches too, but the
problem here is: who will apply it and when.

The way you grouped the changes makes harder for subsystem maintainers
to pick, as the same patch touches multiple subsystems.

On the other hand, if this gets picked by someone else, it has the
potential to cause conflicts between linux-next and the maintainer's
tree.

So, the best would be if you re-arrange this series to submit one
patch per subsystem.

Patch "drivers: net: phy: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch asix.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/net/phy/asix.ko
  drivers/net/usb/asix.ko

Patch "drivers: mfd: 88pm800: fix warning same module names" and
"drivers: regulator: 88pm800: fix warning same module names" resolves
the name clatch 88pm800.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/regulator/88pm800.ko
  drivers/mfd/88pm800.ko


Cheers,
Anders
