If somebody creates a regression by changing something like the
platform device id without checking all the users, he deserves to get
into big trouble. I don't see why an individual framework should
provide protection against such cases.

In any case, having two device names to deal with does not add any
more risk. These associations should always be made in the place where
the phy device is created so you will always know it's device name.
Normally the platform code creates these associations in the same
place it creates the platform devices, so you definitely know what the
device names will be.

In this case it's actually created in drivers/mfd/twl-core.c, so I do
need to update this and move the lookup table there. We can still
deliver the user name as platform data, though I believe it's always
"musb". Maybe we could actually skip that and just hard code the name?
The name of the phy we will of course know as the platform device is
created there and then, so the two device names don't create any more
risk even in this case.


Thanks,
