Hi Michal,

Since Linux 5.19 this error is observed:

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/of-display'

This is because multiple devices with the same name 'of-display' are
created on the same bus.

Update the code to create numbered device names for the non-boot
disaplay.

Platform devices use a single dot (.) as separator before the index. Counting starts at zero. See /sys/bus/platform/ for examples. Can we please stick with that scheme? Generated names would then be of-display.0, of-display.1, etc.

Best regards
Thomas

Thank you for the patch Michal!

It applies on 6.2-rc4 but I get this build error with my config:

Indeed, it's doubly bad.

Where is the kernel test robot when you need it?

It should not be that easy to miss this file but clearly it can happen.

I will send a fixup.

Sorry about the mess.

Thanks

Michal
