Hmmm.... That will not solve the issue for every device.

If I had a mmio, the gpio would be located at

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0/0000:01:00.0/30040000.gpio
and
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/0000:01:00.0/30040000.gpio

Also it could be the case where the gpio is not memory mapped, then it
would be something like:

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0/0000:01:00.0/gpio
and
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/0000:01:00.0/gpio

And at any case we should respect the old api, we can only rename the
second device, not the first one.

What is your concern about the initial proposal? What about NAME_dup0
instead of NAME_0?

We could throw a dev_info(), so the system developer will have a
chance to fix it (if he can) and the user to ignore it safely.


Thanks!
