That's definitely not intended. The expectation with this patch is that nothing really changes, except that a parent device link is available in sysfs. For the name this patch depends on 807f16d4db956 ("mtd: core: set some defaults when dev.parent is set") which does something like: if (mtd->dev.parent) { if (!mtd->name) mtd->name = dev_name(mtd->dev.parent); } The fact that this produces different names for you is slightly surprising to me, unless mtd->name is already set to something by the time it reaches add_mtd_device(). Or I overlooked something, which is entirely plausible as well. So effectively this should be the same as doing: mtd->dev.parent = &pdev->dev; mtd->name = dev_name(mtd->dev.parent); > But wondering, if there are two or more identical nand chips in the > system, they will have the same mtd->name ... which seems buggy to me... Agree.
