Now I just want to use this component name to target individual line
cards. I see it is a nice fit. Don't you think?  

Still on the fence.  

Why?

IIRC my concern was mixing objects. We have component name coming from
lc info, but then use it in dev flash.

I see that the manpage is mentioning "the component names from devlink dev info"
which is not actually implemented, but exactly what I proposed.  

How do you tie the line card to the component name? lc8_dev0 from 
the flashing example is not present in the lc info output.  

Okay, I will move it there. Makes sense.

FWIW I think I meant my comment as a way to underline that what you
argue for is not what's implemented (assuming your "not actually
implemented" referred to the flashing). I was trying to send you back 
to the drawing board rather than break open a box of band-aides.
