Re: [PATCH 2.6.23] ibmebus: Prevent bus_id collisions

Hi, Arnd,
The whole logic of dynamically adding and removing device is rather 
bogus,
and it prevents autoloading of device drivers. of_platform_make_bus_id
is the function that is responsible for creating unique names over 
there.

The plaintiff makes a valid point. How about a staging approach: We put 
the patch as it is now into 2.6.23 so the problem is fixed, and I'll post 
a "nice" version with autoloading support and a generic of_make_bus_id 
function for 2.6.24. Agree?

Regards,
  Joachim
