The latest prepatch, 2.6.12-rc1, introduced the following change.
--- a/drivers/base/platform.c 2005-03-17 17:35:04 -08:00 +++ b/drivers/base/platform.c 2005-03-17 17:35:04 -08:00 @@ -131,7 +131,7 @@ pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type; if (pdev->id != -1) - snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s%u", pdev->name, pdev->id); + snprintf(pdev->dev.bus_id, BUS_ID_SIZE, "%s.%u", pdev->name, pdev->id); else strlcpy(pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->name, BUS_ID_SIZE);
It causes problem, as most platform files, for example, arch/ppc/platforms/katana.c, still use the old name without ".". I do not understand why bus_id "mpsc.0" is better than "mpsc0". Please explain what is the benefit of introducing such a change, before I can submit a patch for all those platform files to work with this change. Please CC me, as I am currently not in the list. Thanks,
