If you bind/unbind device enough times you may get an overflow and
end
up with name of existing device (if you have 1+ of them in the
system).

To avoid such situation better to use IDA/IDR framework.

Hi, Andy
Thanks again for your suggestion.
It seems that using IDA/IDR framework is better, but all of the
functions must be serialized by lock.

AFAIR it's designed in a way you don't need to do any additional
locking or synchronization.

really? if so, that is great.
could you sent me an example.
thanks very much. Andy.
